Most people may look at the Houston Texans (2-3) and the Seattle Seahawks (4-2) wrapping up the Week 7 slate on “Monday Night Football” and picture two high-flying offenses. Texans quarterback\u00a0 C.J. Stroud uncorking deep throws to wide receiver Nico Collins and Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold doing the same with wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba are probably the first images of these teams that come to mind.<\/p>\n
However, this Monday night matchup in Seattle actually features two of the NFL’s best defenses, including the Texans’ league-best scoring defense (12.2 points per game allowed) — the fewest allowed by a team with a losing record through five games in the Super Bowl era. The Seahawks are also rounding into a borderline top-five unit in Year 2 under head coach Mike Macdonald with the NFL’s sixth-ranked scoring defense (19.5 points per game allowed).<\/p>\n
