The Seahawks were the only NFC West team to win a game in Week 8. Their reward: a drop from 28th to 31st in rankings for total yards per game.
The 49ers' yards per pass play continued to fall in the rankings as J.T. O'Sullivan's fast start to the season fades.
Arizona remains in the top five for each of the five categories I singled out as part of this weekly feature.
Where the NFC West offenses ranked in yards per game after the 2007 season: Seattle 9, Arizona 12, St. Louis 24, San Francisco 32.
