Monday Night Football tonight features a battle between two NFC teams. The Seattle Seahawks and New York Giants square off in a matchup of two teams who surprised pundits around the league a season ago by advancing to the NFC playoffs. Both teams appeared to turn the page last season under leaps from their scrutinized QBs.
Geno Smith emerged from a QB battle to take the starting position from Drew Lock and never looked back, earning Pro Bowl recognition in his best season to date. Daniel Jones developed under first-year head coach Brian Daboll, having his best season as a pro.
A year later, these teams are once again in a transition, jostling for playoff positioning in the NFC. How will each team fare in a critical contest on Monday Night Football?

Smith is the unquestioned offensive leader under center for Seattle, and he’s been gifted has an arsenal of weapons. DK Metcalf has had a slow start to the 2023 season, but we know that the extraordinary speedster can break out at any moment. Tyler Lockett is the steady hand of the Seahawks passing game, reliable week in and week out.
Seahawks fans anxiously await the breakout performance of first-round selection Jaxon Smith-Njigba. NFL analysts and fans are high on the former Ohio State Buckeyes receiver, and his arrival appears to be a “when” not “if” situation.

Saquon Barkley is doubtful for this contest, so the Giants must find offensive balance with Matt Breida in the backfield. Look for quarterback Daniel Jones to target tight end Darren Waller early and often in this one.

This game is also a homecoming of sorts. Smith, along with safeties Jamal Adams and Julian Love, all have memories of starting their careers in MetLife Stadium. All things considered, this should be a fun one to watch.
