The 6-3 Seattle Seahawks return to the confines of CenturyLink Field for a Monday Night Football matchup against the 5-4 Atlanta Falcons. This is the first meeting between the two sides since Atlanta eliminated the Seahawks from the postseason in the 2017 NFC Divisional Round. The Seahawks memorably won a controversial 26-24 home game over the Falcons last regular season.
This is a high-stakes game for both teams, as a win for the Seahawks would put them back atop the NFC West on head-to-head tiebreaker over the Los Angeles Rams. As for the defending NFC champs, they need to win to keep pace with the 8-2 New Orleans Saints and the 7-3 Carolina Panthers.
