Hello everyone and welcome to Lumen Field where the home side will look to kick a two game slide while the New Orleans Saints will be wanting to escape Washington with their record over .500
The New Orleans Saints travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks to wrap up Week 7 in the NFL. AS English will have you covered with up-to-the-minute coverage, stats and scores of tonight’s game from Lumen Field.
The Seahawks will once again be without Russell Wilson who is still nursing a finger injury he suffered in Seattle’s Week 5 loss to the LA Rams. Geno Smith will start tonight under center for the second straight week as he looks for his first win as the Seahawks quarterback.
Seattle’s season took a turn for the worst when they gave up a big halftime lead in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans and eventually lost in overtime. Since then they 1-3 and will be without their starting QB for at least a few more weeks.
The new look New Orleans Saints are led by Head Coach Sean Payton and Jamis Winston. The post Drew Brees era hasn’t been as bad as everyone expected thanks to Winson who has come in a calmed things down near Bourbon Street.
The Saints are above .500 and looking to keep up with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFL South. Winston hasn’t had to be spectacular this season, instead he has been asked to manage games. He has 12 touchdowns with just three picks, but he has thrown for less than 900 yards over the first six games. He is looking for his first game over 200 yards since Week 2.
