The Patriots won’t just put their spot atop the AFC on the line when they host the Seahawks on Sunday night. As Reddit’s New England Patriots subreddit points out, Tom Brady’s team can also join the Los Angeles Rams as the only franchise in the league to have a winning record against Russell Wilson’s team across multiple games.
The Patriots can join the Rams in exclusive Seahawk-beating territory with a win Sunday
Only one team in the NFL has a winning record over multiple games against Russell Wilson’s Seahawks.
At 5-4 against their NFC West counterpart, the Rams are the only team in the NFL to consistently beat the ‘Hawks since Wilson took the reins in Seattle. The three-time Pro Bowler has a .500 record or better against the other 17 franchises he’s played at least twice, but New England can change that. The Patriots are currently a 7.5-point favorite to defend their home turf.
This Week 10 showdown will feature two of the NFL’s hottest teams. The 7-1 Patriots look like a lock to win the AFC East for the 14th time in 16 seasons. The 5-2-1 Seahawks currently rule the NFC West and have the second-best odds to win Super Bowl 51 — behind only New England.
While several teams - the Bengals, Chiefs, Colts, and Chargers - are 1-0 against the Seahawks since Wilson came into the league, only one team has been able to sustain a winning record against Seattle over the past four-plus seasons. New England can double it on Sunday.
