Atlanta is 5-4 and third place in the NFC South division, two games back of both the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints. They have already lost to Carolina once, and will face the Saints two times before the season is up. They are coming off a big 27-7 win over the Dallas Cowboys, with the loss to the Panthers coming in the game prior to that.
Seattle is 6-3 on the season, and in second place in the NFC West division. They trail the Los Angeles Rams, who sit at 7-2. The Seahawks have went a perfect 3-0 in the division, including a win over the Rams that should help them big time down the stretch. They will play the Rams again in Week 15.
Both the Falcons and the Seahawks are coming off strong wins. Seattle has major injury concerns, though, with starting cornerback Richard Sherman lost for the season with a ruptured Achilles.
Quarterback Russell Wilson also took a beating, while injuries on the offensive line make it seem more likely he’s in line for another long day against Atlanta.
Below is all you need to know to watch Monday’s action.
How to Watch Atlanta vs. Seattle
Falcons vs. Seahawks news:
- On the injury front, it’s likely Devonta Freeman will be inactive for the Falcons, but they did get some good news in that both Andy Levitre and Julio Jones were full participants in practice and should be good to go for Monday.
- Russell Wilson should be fine for Monday, but he’s taken a beating this year. He had to have his jaw reset following the team’s last game against the Arizona Cardinals.
- Wilson could be hurting a whole lot more if the Seahawks remain without their starting left tackle in Duane Brown. Adrian Clayborn has been great this season, and is surely relishing the thought of facing another backup tackle.
- Even if Wilson doesn’t get beaten down into the ground, he’s facing a daunting task: Throw for a lot of yards against an Atlanta defense that has allowed over 260 yards passing just one time this year.
- The Falcons haven’t punched their ticket into the playoffs, and some fans at The Falcoholic think Monday’s game is as close to a must-win as it gets at this point in the season.
