They started the 2020 NFL season 5-0, and averaged a robust 34.25 points through the first half of their schedule. Quarterback Ru sell Wilson looked like the unanimous choice to win his first MVP award, and his top play-makers served as beacons of offensive consistency. However, a 37-34 overtime lo s to the division-rival Cardinals in Week 7 shook Seattle to its core, and injuries began to mount Matt Wieters Jersey . After a turbulent start to the second half of its season, many pundits questioned if even the most heroic version of Wilson could survive the struggling Seahawks defense.A strong 28-21 win over Arizona in a rematch at home last week went a long way towardanswering that question. The Cardinals had been playing superb offense to that point in the season, with second-year standout QB Kyler Murray looking like an MVP candidate in his own right. But the Seahawks defense showed up, and Wilson and company once again balled out. The QB completed 23-of-28 pa ses, with one touchdown strike going to each of his two favorite wide receivers, DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.Metcalf, who caught three pa ses for 46 yards in last weeks win, has emerged as the most physically dominant receiver in the game. He ranks third in the NFL with 18 yards per catchand fourth in the NFC with 86.2 yards per game. Lockett, who caught Patrick Corbin Jersey  nine targets for 67 yards, ranks third in the conference with 6.7 catches per game. This dynamic tandem has been a huge reason for Wilsons electrifying stat line this season, which includes a 73.5-percent completion rate (second in the NFL), 298.6 pa sing yards per game (fourth), and 8.2 average yards per completion (fifth). If Wilson throws for three or more TDs tonight, which he has done six different times this season, he will at least tie Aaron Rodgers with an NFL-leading 33 TDs (hes currently tied for second with Patrick Mahomes at 30.But things havent been all sunshine and roses for Wilson since Seattles heartbreaking overtime lo s to Arizona in Week 7. After throwing just three interceptions in the Seahawks first five games, he has seven picks acro s their past five. He has been sacked 14 times in their past three contests, and he has not eclipsed 261 pa sing yards in three of their last four. Wilson and Seattle coach Pete Carroll are likely ecstatic to have starting running  Sean Doolittle Jersey back Chris Carson back tonight, after a foot injury sustained in that infamous Week 7 matchup kept the fourth-year back sidelined the past four games. In the six games he has played this season, Carson averages a team-best 4.9 yards per carry. He has caught 22-of-25 targets (88 percent), and hes scored three times on the ground and three times through the air. His backup Carlos Hyde is good, but not as effective as Carson.Seattles succe s has been mainly attributed to its offense this season, but last week may have been the first time all year that its defense got them the win. Sure, it helped that they committed no offensive turnovers all game, but they also held a high-flying Cardinals offense to a season-low 314 total yards (257 pa sing, 57 rushing). They got to Murray three times (tied for Arizonas season high in sacks allowed), and held them to 21 points (tied for the Cards season-low).Thats a breakthrough for the team ranked dead last in total yards allowed, pa sing yards allowed, and first downs surrendered. Former All-Pro and first-year Seahawks safety Jamal Adams finally seems to have his bearings in Ken Nortons oft-criticized system, and defensive end Carlos Brandon Kintzler Jersey  Dunlap has been huge in the pa s-rush as of late. Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright remain one of the better linebacker tandems in the league, with Wagner once again flirting with the league lead in combined tackles with 96. If Seattles secondary can perform like it did last week, this Seahawks team could be a Super Bowl contender after all.Eagles Outlook Whereas the Seahawks started the 2020 NFL season as a beacon of offensive consistency, the Eagles started as a comedy of errors and misfortunes. They opened the season losing to a divisional rival, the Dwayne Haskins-led Washington Football Team. Then they got destroyed by the Rams at home 37-19and tied  Juan Soto Jersey the Bengals in a game neither team looked terribly interested in winning.Eight weeks and three wins later, that tie could be the reason Philadelphia somehow prevails in the historically bad NFC East. Going into tonights contest, the Eagles have one fewer win than the Giants and Washington, but they also have one fewer lo s thanks to the stalemate. Thus, if Philly pulls off the upset this evening, the Eagles sit in first place in a division that very well could send a six-win team to the playoffs.At this rate, the Eagles have as good a chance as any of the four teams in the NFC Least. They have a better offense than the Giants and Washington when QB Carson Wentz stays focused and executes. And unlike the Cowboys, they look to finally be returning to relative health for the first time all season. If a run is going to happen with Wentz and coach Doug Pederson, it likely has to be now or never.Wentz, one time considered the future of the franchise, currently leads the NFL with 14 interceptions (three more than any other QB). He also has the second-worst completion percentage (58.4) among Ryan Zimmerman Jersey  starting QBsand the third-worst QB rating (73.3). He has been sacked 40 times, seven more times than the next-most sacked QB (who happens to be his counterp
