The Seattle Seahawks are seeking their second-straight victory against an AFC South opponent in the Houston Texans. This rare matchup between these teams will take place on Monday Night Football, where the Seahawks own the NFL’s record for best win percentage all-time at .705.
The Seahawks will once again have to find a way to win without Julian Love and Devon Witherspoon, who will be inactive for yet another game. The good news is Riq Woolen will be back after missing the Jaguars game with a concussion. For all the struggles Woolen has had, he still represents a boost to this secondary. Can Seattle keep pace with the rest of the NFC West and find a way to earn a shockingly elusive home win? We at Seahawks Wire have you covered for all in-game updates, highlights and breaking news for this prime time showdown at Lumen Field.

Seattle’s offense had a rather inauspicious start, as they advanced nine total yards then had to punt.
Houston will get the ball to start the second half. Sam Darnold, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Co. will get the first crack tonight. Texans to defend the south end zone.
The greatest pregame tradition in the NFL is when former Seahawks legends or other Seattle icons raise the 12th Man Flag in the south end zone. Receiving those honors tonight are two founding members of the Legion of Boom: Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas. Two players who very well could have their numbers hanging from the rafters of Lumen Field one day.
