The Seahawks were really hoping for a Byron Murphy breakout. He's obliged. He's been the fourth-best defender per PFF grades, and he's done it on the back of really excellent pass-rushing (78.3 grade).

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold ranks No. 1 in PFF grades and leads the NFL in yards per attempt, but remains overlooked in MVP talks.
Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels could be forced to miss more time as he recovers from a hamstring injury.
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba was fined by the NFL for his actions during Monday's win vs. the Houston Texans.
Tyler Lockett is signing with the Raiders, reuniting with Geno Smith and Pete Carroll in Las Vegas after a short stint with the Titans.
Smith-Njigba was also fined for unsportsmanlike conduct after dunking the ball in a touchdown celebration earlier in the game.
