5. Seattle Seahawks (5)

The Seahawks just love playing at MetLife Stadium.  After a slow start to the year, the Seahawks offense is starting to resemble the one we all expected when the year began.  Now they have a bye week to get Russell Wilson back to full health.  The chemistry between Russell Wilson and Jimmy Graham is far better now than it was at any point last year.  This is why the Seahawks gave up a first round pick to go and get the electric tight end.

The best part about going into your bye week undefeated is that you know you will be undefeated for another week.  Now teams have three weeks of film on Carson Wentz.  Can defenses adjust and make things difficult on the rookie, or will he continue to shred defenses like a seasoned vet?

7. Pittsburgh Steelers (9)

You think the Steelers appreciate getting their faces kicked in by a rookie quarterback?  If you watched Sunday night you got the answer.  This Steelers team can kick it into another gear entirely on offense with Le’veon Bell back in action.  That was the ultimate F-U game by Roethlisberger and it was scary how well they played.  Defensive coordinators beware—the Steelers are coming.

8. Cincinnati Bengals (10)

For as well as the Bengals played while destroying the Dolphins, the red zone issues still remain.  The good news—they should be getting a much-needed reinforcement this week with the return of Tyler Eifert.  That should help the woes and get this offense back on track.  For now, they are 2-2 and ready to roll.
