Saints (9-2) vs. Seahawks (10-1) on MNF This Week:

ESPN's MNF returns this week on December 2 at 8:25 p.m. when the NFC's top teams meet in one of the most anticipated games of the season - Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints (9-2) vs. Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks (10-1). With a combined 19-3 record in 2013, the Saints and Seahawks boast the second-highest collective winning percentage all-time for MNF opponents (.864), among teams playing at the 10-game mark or later in a season, according to Elias Sports. Seattle enters the game with a franchise record 13-game home win streak. This is the first meeting between the two teams since the Seahawks defeated the Saints 41-36 in a 2010 NFC Wild Card game.
