So Many Statistics Show How Good The 3-0 Seattle Seahawks Are...

The Seahawks are one of five teams in the entire NFL that are currently 3-0. So it's pretty clear that they are having a really good start to the year, yet, some people do not believe the Seahawks based on one thing.... Their schedule. 

While it should not matter, a lot of people are complaining that the Seattle Seahawks haven't played the best competition in the NFL this year, despite being 3-0. Personally, I would say that it does not matter, at the end of the day, there is a reason there are only five teams left with a 3-0 record, simply you have to be good. 

Seahawks are good, and it's not just because of that 3-0 record, but because there are a lot of statistics that prove it. Event though, it was rare for the Seahawks and some other teams to be in this company... 

The Vikings, Steelers and Seahawks are all 3-0 despite each team having a less than 40% chance to make the playoffs this preseason, per ESPN Analytics.

Entering Week 1 the Vikings had an 8% chance of starting 3-0, the Steelers had a 13% chance of starting 3-0 and the Seahawks had a 20% chance of winning their first 3 games.

According to ESPN Analytics there was an 0.2 percent chance that all 3 teams would start the season 3-0.

The Seattle Seahawks are now currently shocking everyone, they are current the #1 overall PFF graded team in the entire NFL, while also being the #1 overall defense on PFF grading, and having the #1 overall grade for coverage. This team is doing something really special. You can see the defense keeps getting better. 

Even the small mistakes made early one are now getting better like the tackling.
