extract(week) follows the ISO definition of week, which is pretty
strange anyway, but in particular it says that weeks start on Monday.
extract(dow) follows a different convention.  There's not a lot we
can do about this --- we're certainly not going to change extract(week),
and I can't see changing extract(dow) either.

If you feel that weeks start on Sunday you should ignore extract(week).
