The Seattle Seahawks pulled off an upset win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football.
With Geno Smith out, many expected the Eagles to win easily, given Drew Lock’s lack of NFL experience.
However, Lock overcame adversity, leading the Seahawks to a much-needed victory.
While some doubted the Seahawks’ ability to win this game, if they looked at the team’s history against the Eagles, they might have second-guessed their prediction.
As a recent post from SportsCenter highlights, the Seahawks have won eight straight games against the Eagles.

The last time the Eagles beat the Seahawks, Donovan McNabb was their quarterback.
For some reason, the Seahawks have had their number over the past eight meetings, resulting in frustration from fans in Philadelphia.
On paper, the Eagles are the better of these two teams.
They have one of the best offensive lines in the league, and their defensive line is routinely touted as the league’s best.
However, their secondary has faltered lately, and they could not put big drives together against the Seahawks’ defense.
Regardless of what the matchup might have looked like on paper, there is a reason games are played.
Any NFL team can take down another on a given day, a theory that the Seahawks proved on Monday night.
Anything can happen in this league, so fans tune in every week, and the NFL has some of the best ratings of any sport globally.
Will this win be a catalyst for the Seahawks to make a late-season playoff push?
