Seattle Seahawks has beaten Philadelphia Eagles in MNF matchup hands-down.
After almost two full quarters with no touchdowns for either team, the Eagles’ struggling offense pitched one deep. Carson Wentz threw a moonshot, eventually caught by Richard Rodgers.
Philadelphia then successfully attempted a two-point conversion. But it was too little, too late as they failed an onside kick.
Q4 1:13 — Seahawks keep the field goal streak going. Score: 23-9, Seahawks.
Q4 11:08 — Seahawks settle for field goal to extend lead. Score: 20-9, Seahawks.
Q3 2:06 — Seahawks extend lead with 44-yard field goal. Score: 17-9, Seahawks.
Q3 7:37 — Eagles settle for 42-yard field goal. Score: 14-9, Seahawks.
Q2 0:12 — Eagles pull within 8, despite struggles. Score: 14-6, Seahawks.
The Eagles struggled for almost two full quarters on the offensive side of the ball. But in their final drive of the half, they put together a decent drive, with the help of a missed intentional grounding call by the referees.
Within 2 yards of the endzone, the Eagles finally put some points on the board as the first half dwindled.
They then missed the extra point attempt.
Q2 5:27 — Seahawks take control with 2nd TD. Score: 14-0, Seahawks.
The Seahawks kept the ball rolling after the Eagles failed to accomplish anything on their drive.
A big pass (again) from Russell Wilson to DK Metcalf put the Seahawks in prime position to score a second touchdown. A puzzling intentional grounding penalty on Wilson followed.
Then a run from Chris Carson sealed the deal, putting the Seahawks lead in the double digits.
Q2 10:56 — Seahawks score first points of the game after quiet Q1. Score: 7-0, Seahawks.
Neither team did much in the first quarter. The Eagles struggled to pick up yards on each drive, and the Seahawks were stopped on multiple fourth down conversion attempts.
Finally, in the second quarter, Russell Wilson did what he does best and threw a moonshot that eventually landed into the arms of DK Metcalf just a few yards from the endzone.
After an unsuccessful rushing attempt, Wilson threw to David Moore for the first touchdown of the game.
The Seattle Seahawks (7-3) will look to build off their most complete performance of the season on Monday Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles (3-6-1). Kickoff is scheduled for 5:15 p.m. PT from Lincoln Financial Field.
With the Rams’ loss to the 49ers on Sunday, the Seahawks have regained first place in the NFC West and can move a full game ahead of LA with a win in Philly.
A Seattle run game that was revived and a defense that finally put a full game together in the victory over the Cardinals in Week 11 will be getting reinforcements against the Eagles. Star running back Chris Carson and left cornerback Shaquill Griffin, both of whom have missed the last four games, are set to make their return on Monday. Seattle will also have starting center Ethan Pocic back in the lineup. He missed the last two games with a concussion.
Quandre Diggs told what Eagles DC Jim Schwartz said to DK Metcalf pregame. Diggs says he poked the bear and Darius Slay had to deal with that bear.
"Slay need to blame his D-coordinator for that."

DK Metcalf said he was mad pregame when Eagles DC Jim Schwartz came up to him pregame and said, 'I was in Detroit with Megatron (Calvin Johnson) and you're not there yet."
Metcalf proceeded to torch Philly for 10-177
"I had a little chip on my shoulder the whole game."
