After a wild weekend, the final game of Week 15 sees the Seattle Seahawks host the Philadelphia Eagles on “Monday Night Football.”
Both teams come into this game with questions at quarterback, as Jalen Hurts is dealing with an illness and Geno Smith has a groin injury. Hurts seems more likely to go for this game than does Smith, and that plays heavily into how competitive this game will be.
The Eagles caught a break on Sunday as the Cowboys got blown out by the Bills, but they need to continue stacking wins to maintain their chances of recapturing the No. 1 seed from the 49ers.

But the Eagles haven’t gained more than 378 yards since, and they have turned the ball over multiple times in five of their eight games since that point.
