The Houston Texans (2-3) are in Seattle tonight to take on the Seahawks (4-2) in the second half of tonight’s Monday Night Football doubleheader.
C.J. Stroud and the Texans have won two in a row after starting the season 0-3 but they cannot rest on their laurels. Only six teams have made the playoffs after starting the season 0-3…but the Texans were the last team to do it back in 2018. They need a win to remain within eye shot of the Colts who sit atop the AFC South while Sam Darnold and the Seahawks have started the season strong but have to keep winning to keep pace with the Rams and 49ers in order to remain tied atop the NFC West.
Lumen Field used to be at or near the top of the list of the toughest and loudest environments for a visiting team, but this season both of Seattle’s losses have come at home. Seattle’s attempt to get back to .500 at home will not be easy, though, as the Texans return to the field from their bye week while Darnold and co. were in action in Jacksonville last week. The good news? Seattle has won nine straight away from Lumen Field.
Lets dive into the numbers for the final game of Week 7 in the NFL and see if we can find an advantage or two.
