Seahawks vs. Eagles game could be flexed to Monday Night Football

The Seattle Seahawks could potentially have three weeks out of four under the lights of prime time. They had their Thanksgiving game against the San Francisco 49ers, they’ll be back on Thursday Night Football in Week 13 to face the Dallas Cowboys, and they could apparently have another after their Week 14 rematch with San Francisco.

The Seahawks will be back to Lumen Field to take on the reigning NFC Champions, the Philadelphia Eagles. Although that game is slated to start at 1:25 pm Pacific time, it might not last for much longer. Apparently, the NFL is considering moving this game into Monday Night Football.

If this is true, the advantage could shift in favor of Seattle. The Seahawks have the NFL record for best win percentage on Monday Night Football. Seattle has already had the MNF treatment this year, as they dominated the New York Giants 24-3 in Week 4.

Of course, the Eagles are an entirely different kind of animal when compared to New York. Philadelphia looks every bit the Super Bowl contender they were last year. But I would be lying if I said I didn’t feel more confident in the Seahawks if they were to host a Monday Night Football game when it came to the Eagles.
