The Seahawks (6-2-1) gritted out a tough but -defining win at New England, but they can’t afford a letdown against the Eagles. The offense is getting back on track now that quarterback Russell Wilson is getting healthy. The Seahawks are still looking for their running game to emerge, but the return of Thomas Rawls and emergence of rookie C.J. Prosise should help.

The Eagles (5-4) got a much-needed win against Atlanta to snap a two-game slide. The Eagles defense stifled the offense in the NFL and the offense controlled the game with 208 yards on the ground.
