Monday Night Football tonight Streaming

[seestyle]

Neither the nor the expected to be in this situation: trailing in their divisions, fighting for survival, no longer favorites in the NFC. But here they are. It's Week 11 and both teams that entered the season with legitimate hopes are facing a must-win game on Monday night if they're going to catch the new front-runners.Week 11 of "Monday Night Football" brings us to Seattle -- -- for Falcons-Seahawks. Both teams are coming off wins, but both are also fighting off their own kind of demons. The Falcons are trying to fight off history's nastiest hangover. After blowing a 28-3 lead to the in the Super Bowl, the Falcons have limped out to a 5-4 record. They're trailing both the and the in the NFC South. Coming off a dominant 27-7 win over the , the Falcons could be turning the corner. Or maybe they just beat a Cowboys team lacking three of its four most important players ( , , Michael Jordan Jersey and ). One thing is certain: Desperation is a hell of a drug in the , and the Falcons are certainly using their fair share of it. The Seahawks, meanwhile, are also coming off a win -- a 22-16 victory over the Carson Palmer-le s and David Johnson-le s . All is not well in the Pacific Northwest. Not only are the Seahawks (6-3) trailing the in the NFC West, they're also going to be forced to play the remainder of the season and . The Seahawks are still a dangerous team -- any team with would be -- but they're probably not the Super Bowl contender we thought they might be, especially since the Rams could take the division, which would mean the Seahawks would have to leave the friendly confines of CenturyLink Field in the playoffs. It's a big game for both teams. I don't feel confident in taking either team considering the Falcons' offensive woes and the Seahawks' injury woes, but I'm taking the Falcons in a road upset because they're going up against a defense that just won't be itself without two of its most important players.The prediction: Falcons 28, Seahawks 24My "MNF" prediction record: 8-2How to watch, streamWhen: Monday at 8:30 p.m. ETWhere: CenturyLink Field, SeattleTV: ESPNStreaming: Ru sell Wilson or ?Now, this is an interesting question. Call it the Unofficial Pete Prisco Quarterback Litmus Test. Would you rather have Ru sell Wilson or Matt Ryan in this game?Like I said, one of the best of his generation. mike freeman (@mikefreemanNFL) Then I gue s Matt Ryan is too. MVP. Better completion percentage. More 4,000-yard Pierre Pilote Jersey seasons. Two 30-plus TD seasons to one. My God. Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) As of now, the answer is Wilson. That doesn't mean Wilson has had a better career than Ryan, or that Wilson is a better pocket pa ser than Ryan, or that we should forget about Ryan's MVP award from a year ago. It's just means Wilson is playing better than Ryan right now. This year, Wilson has completed 62.7 percent of his pa ses for 2,543 yards, 19 touchdowns, six interceptions, and a 97.4 pa ser rating. Don't forget about his 290 yards and one touchdown on the ground. Ryan, on the other hand, has completed 66.6 percent of his pa ses for 2,372 yards, 13 touchdowns, eight interceptions, and a 93.9 pa ser rating. You can forget about his 79 rushing yards.Obviously, there are other factors at play for Ryan's regre sion. Kyle Shanahan's replacement, Steve Sarkisian, has been a disaster as the new offensive coordinator. But Ryan is the one with , a better offensive line, and a good ground game. Wilson is the one with a disaster of an offensive line, a good-not-great receiving corps, and a non-existent running game. And it's not like Darrell Bevell is some offensive mastermind. Wilson is often forced to run around like crazy in the backfield to buy time for his receivers before launching up jump balls. Yeah, this throw below probably should've been picked, but I don't care. It's awesome, and it's why some people believe Wilson Martin Havlat Jersey is a generational quarterback. THAT. WAS. UNBELIEVABLE.QB wizardry, by ! NFL (@NFL) Still, despite the Seahawks' edge in quarterbacks, I can't take them when I know how banged up they are. Stopping Wilson better hope new left tackle can play. Brown, who is dealing with a sprained ankle, is. He's needed if the Seahawks are going to survive against Adrian Clayborn. The Falcons' defensive end faced a backup last week, when filled in for Cowboys All-Pro left tackle Tyron Smith. He ended up notching six(!) sacks of the very mobile -- four if which came against Green. It's not like Clayborn has consistently dominated opposing offensive lines. Clayborn hadn't racked up six sacks in a single season since 2011. And getting a hold of Wilson, Adam Boqvist Jersey as that clip above proves, is rather difficult. But he feasted on a bad backup last week and if Brown can't play, he'll have another opportunity to do so against . According to , That's not great -- for the Seahawks. It's perfect for Clayborn and the Falcons.Replacing and Kam ChancellorThat's a misleading header, because the Seahawks can't replace either of those players, both of whom are out for the season. Since entering the NFL in 2011, Sherman has 32 interceptions -- This year, according to Pro Football Focus, he's allowed a 75.5 pa ser rating in coverage. Last year, Sherman allowed a 63.8 pa ser rating in coverage. To him, the Seahawks signed former Legion of Boom member , who rebounded last year by allowing a 71.6 pa ser rating in coverage. Maxwell is serviceable and finds himself in a good situation, playing on a good defense with a strong pa s rush, but don't mistake him for Sherman. His absence will have a domino effect. Teams already tried to pick on rookie and they're unlikely to stop now. Keith Magnuson Jersey Griffin's handled himself well (79.7 pa ser rating in coverage, per PFF), but he'll face an even bigger test without Sherman. The bad news: Julio Jones is coming to town. The good news: Jones hasn't been himself this season, averaging 79.4 receiving yards per game and scoring only one touchdown. More good news: All-World free safety is expected to return after a two-game absence, which should provide the Seahawks cornerbacks with some much needed air support. I wouldn't have given the Falcons a chance to win this game if the Seahawks were healthy on defense. But they're not.No , no problemThe Falcons are also shorthanded. They're going to be without Freeman, who is dealing with his second concu sion of the season. This year, Freeman is averaging 4.4 yards per carry and has scored five touchdowns. The Falcons are, however, better equipped to deal with their RB1's absence than most teams thanks to presence. Coleman is averaging 4.8 yards per carry and has scored four touchdowns from scrimmage. He'd be a starter on most other teams. Even without Freeman, the Falcons are going to hold the advantage when it comes to each team's ground games.But the Falcons are going up against a defense that is allowing the 10th fewest rushing yards per g
