The Seattle Seahawks (3-7) face off against the Washington Football Team (4-6) in a crucial Monday Night Football matchup, with Seattle favored by one point.

The Seahawks enter having lost five of their last six games, struggling offensively even after Russell Wilson's return from injury. In their last two games with Wilson back, they've managed just 13 total points in losses to Green Bay and Arizona. This game presents an opportunity for Seattle's offense to get back on track against a Washington defense that has previously struggled against quarterbacks like Daniel Jones and Jameis Winston.

Washington comes in with momentum after consecutive wins over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers. Their offense has found its rhythm, averaging 28 points over the last two games after failing to score more than 14 points in their previous three contests. Taylor Heinicke's play at quarterback has been key to their recent success.

Keys to Victory:

  • Seattle must get their defense on track, having allowed under 25 points in their last five games
  • Washington needs their secondary to contain Seattle's dangerous receiving duo of DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett
  • The Football Team's depleted pass rush (missing Chase Young and Montez Sweat) could be a factor
  • Seattle's offense must improve after struggling since Wilson's return

The outcome likely hinges on whether Seattle's defense can contain Washington's surging offense while their own offense tries to rediscover its form with Wilson back under center.
