What to know: The Seahawks have a long way to go before they can compete with San Francisco for NFC West supremacy. As long as that two spot is in play, don't expect the Niners to take their foot off the gas, in part because they need to get Purdy as many snaps as possible before the postseason. The Ravens showed no signs of panic after the deflating defeat in Cleveland, though, and they know they can take the division if they win out.
