HOU Texans vs. SEA Seahawks Game Day Preview
The Houston Texans (2–3) visit the Seattle Seahawks (4–2) for a Week 7 Monday Night Football matchup at Lumen Field.

The Texans come off a bye week with momentum after routing Baltimore 44–10 before the break. C.J. Stroud earned AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors with four touchdown passes and 244 yards, showing command of Houston’s up-tempo attack.
Head coach DeMeco Ryans has emphasized growth and consistency over early-season records, noting, “It’s all about how you finish. You just continue to work, control what you can, and focus on one game at a time.” That mindset has kept Houston competitive in every contest despite injuries at running back.
With Nick Chubb and rookie Woody Marks splitting duties, Houston’s offense now leans on efficiency and short-area balance. Tight end Dalton Schultz continues to be a steady red-zone presence, while safety Jalen Pitre anchors a defense that thrives on flexibility and takeaways.

Seattle’s biggest storyline entering Week 7 is turning road dominance into home success. The Seahawks are 3–0 on the road but just 1–2 at Lumen Field — a surprising trend for one of the league’s loudest venues. Head coach Mike Macdonald acknowledged, “We have to win at home. We have to defend our turf. It’s been an emphasis since I was hired.”
Quarterback Sam Darnold has quietly stabilized Seattle’s attack, throwing for 295 yards and two scores in last week’s 20–12 win at Jacksonville. Jaxon Smith-Njigba has emerged as a breakout weapon, posting eight catches for 162 yards and a 61-yard TD.
Defensively, Seattle continues to pressure opponents, notching seven sacks and holding Jacksonville under 60 rushing yards. The Seahawks’ front seven has become a strength — key to maintaining their 4–2 record and playoff pace.
