The Seattle Seahawks have the earliest bye week this season, coming after only three games. It means they will have to grind it out for the final 13 weeks of the regular season, including seven roads games.

At 2-1 after three games, here's my position-by-position grade on how things have gone so far, first on offense:

Quarterback: A. As I said on our NFL Nation TV show this week, Russell Wilson is the best quarterback in the league. If you don't know it by now, you just aren't paying attention. His 80-yard touchdown drive in overtime Sunday was masterful.

Running backs: A. Marshawn Lynch is sixth in the league in rushing with 234 yards, but he's third among those top six in yards per carry at 4.5. His five touchdowns -- three rushing and two receiving -- are tied for the league lead. And his numbers would be higher, but he had only six carries in the loss at San Diego. Robert Turbin also has played well as the backup, including a touchdown catch at San Diego.

Tight ends: B. Starter Zach Miller has six catches for 76 yards, but he's had to stay on the line and block quite a bit to help rookie tackle Justin Britt. Back-up tight end Luke Willson has only one catch for 7 yards.

Wide receivers: B. Doug Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse do not have a touchdown catch yet, but Ricardo Lockette has been the biggest surprise on the team so far with two long scoring receptions. And Percy Harvin is everything fans expected him to be in a full-time role. Using him on the jet sweep has defenses reeling, whether he gets the ball or is a decoy. And he had a 51-yard touchdown run at San Diego (he appeared to step out of bounds but it wasn't called) when he lined up at tailback and took a pitch to the left. Rookie receiver Paul Richardson hasn't played much and rookie Kevin Norwood has yet to suit up.

Offensive line: C+. Run blocking has been solid most of the time, but pass blocking continues to be an issue. Wilson was under duress on 45 percent of his dropbacks Sunday and on almost every play on the overtime touchdown drive. Most of it is coming off the edge where Britt still is learning and left tackle Russell Okung has not played up to his usual standards. That area has to improve to ensure that Wilson stays healthy all season.

Kicking: A-. Steven Hauschka had a rare miss on a 46-yard field-goal attempt against Denver, but his kickoffs this season have been exceptional. Eleven of 16 were touchbacks and no kickoff has been returned past the 30.
