Seahawks and Rams hold top positions in NFL power rankings
Summary

Analysts are monitoring the progress of rookie Jadarian Price to determine his capacity to manage the running game for the offense. The Los Angeles Rams hold the second position in the rankings as the season begins. The organization has set high expectations for the upcoming year, with internal pressure mounting to secure a Super Bowl appearance.
