The Seattle Seahawks (2-4) are in desperate need of a win and have a tough matchup ahead on Monday Night Football against the New Orleans Saints (3-2). Two years ago, the Saints came into Seattle and won far more comfortably than the 33-27 scoreline suggested. Teddy Bridgewater was the quarterback in place of the injured Drew Brees, who busted his thumb off of Aaron Donald’s helmet. Now the Seahawks are the ones with the backup QB, as Geno Smith fills in for Russell Wilson after Wilson’s encounter with Donald wrecked his middle finger.
New Orleans is coming off a bye week and preceding that was a win in Washington, with Jameis Winston throwing for four touchdowns and Alvin Kamara doing Alvin Kamara things.
