#1 – Seattle Seahawks
Let’s give credit where credit is due. Sam Darnold showed what he’s capable of as a legitimate NFL quarterback as he led the Seattle Seahawks to the NFC West championship and home-field advantage in the postseason. It only makes sense that Seattle would get top billing here.
Darnold led the Seahawks to a bye in the first round of the postseason, as he, smartly, took full advantage of Jaxon Smith-Njigba. At times, other receivers stepped up, but the aforementioned connection, along with Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet, especially the latter running back’s nose for the end zone, deserve the credit. AJ Barner did emerge at the tight end position, but ultimately, Darnold and the offense were able to get it down. Again, having a weapon like JSN, who also had the season he had, didn’t hurt.
The defense should also get credit here, as the Seahawks have one of the more complete teams in the league.
