Seattle, of course, is the defending Super Bowl champion. It has gotten off to a 3-1 start this season.

Meanwhile, San Francisco is a perfect 4-0 and atop the NFC West. The 49ers are one of just three remaining unbeaten in the league alongside Kansas City and Minnesota.

With the teams set for the first of their two matchups this weekend at Lumen Field, here’s a look at how they stack up in NFL power rankings at what is essentially the quarter point of the season.
