The Seahawks tumble in the latest power‑rankings after back‑to‑back losses to the 49ers and Broncos, largely due to a turnover epidemic. NFL.com and Bleacher Report each drop Seattle three spots (now 10th and 9th), citing quarterback Sam Darnold’s ball‑security woes, while CBS Sports and Pro Football Talk keep them at 7th, noting the need to retain Kenneth Walker III. ESPN is the most generous, ranking them 6th despite highlighting 12 total turnovers, the league’s third‑most. The average rank fell from 5.0 to 7.8 entering Week 7, as Seattle prepares to face Kenneth Walker III and the unbeaten Chiefs on Sunday Night Football.
Despite a nail‑biting 23‑17 win over the Washington Commanders, the San Francisco 49ers stay atop Week 7 NFL power rankings. All major outlets—ESPN, NFL.com, CBS Sports and FOX Sports—keep them at No. 1, citing a dominant defense and depth despite a rash of wide‑receiver injuries, including Mike Evans’ Achilles setback and Deebo Samuel’s hamstring issue. The close finish fuels debate, but analysts agree the Niners’ 6‑0 record and resilient play outweigh the scare. Behind them sit the Chiefs, Bills, Vikings and Jaguars (or Broncos per CBS), while the 49ers prepare for a road trip to Atlanta.
The 49ers are 6-0, but Mike Evans' Achilles injury has exposed concerns at receiver. Should San Francisco trade for help or wait for injured players to return?
During Monday Night Football’s October 20 game, Troy Aikman blasted analytics, saying it’s "a good way to lose your job as a head coach" while discussing a 49ers fourth‑and‑3 that the data recommended to go for. His comments sparked a flurry of Twitter reactions and highlighted his growing friction with ESPN, where his future is uncertain after contract talks stalled. Meanwhile, Joe Buck secured a long‑term deal, and reports suggest former NFL player Greg Olsen could replace Aikman next season.
49ers fans can delight in the misery of the Rams for now, but if LA turns things around and gets hot late in the season they could be a really dangerous team.

Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels’ fourth‑down error against the San Francisco 49ers sparks a stern rebuke from Commanders head coach Dan Quinn. In the second quarter, trailing 13‑3, Daniels rolled out under pressure on 4th‑and‑2 at the 13‑yard line, threw the ball out of bounds amid a penalty flag, and lost a crucial scoring chance. Quinn told him, “Even when you know there’s a penalty, you still take your shot to throw. You don’t know if it will get picked up.” Daniels finished 29‑of‑40 for 300 yards, two TDs, but the team fell to 1‑4‑1 and 0‑7‑1 in his last eight starts.
