The Seattle Seahawks and the New Orleans Saints are set to do battle tonight in Week 7 on Monday Night Football. The Seahawks are in a rare set of circumstances without Russell Wilson as he works to return from an injured finger. In his place will be former New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith.
The New Orleans Saints are coming off a 33-22 win over the Washington Football Team, which was a bounce back from giving the Giants their first victory of 2021.
In their first season without Drew Brees, Jameis Winston is 3-2 and will look to climb to 4-2 with a win over the struggling Seahawks.

- Matchup - New Orleans Saints vs. Seattle Seahawks
- Location - Lumen Field, Seattle, Washington
The Seattle Seahawks will need their 12th man more than ever in tonight's game against the Saints. Last week, the Seahawks hit a brick wall with Geno Smith in his first start with the team.
They eventually leaned on their running backs to do lots of the heavy lifting and eventually made a comeback and forced overtime. Needless to say, the Seahawks will be using their running backs once again in the passing game as well.
The New Orleans Saints are getting the Jameis Winston experience. They've been redhot and ice cold in back-to-back games thus far. Winston threw for five touchdowns and no interceptions in Week One.
In Week Two, Winston threw no touchdowns and two interceptions. He bounced back with two touchdowns and no interceptions the following week.
In Week Four, he threw one touchdown and no interceptions, but they lost the game to the Giants. Last week, Winston threw for four touchdowns and one interception.
He's possibly on track for a rough game in this one, which is exactly what the Seahawks are hoping for.
