The Texans return from their off week with a tough game in Seattle needing to keep pace in a crowded AFC playoff race.

The aftermath: The Seahawks got a short field and scored six plays later on Zach Charbonnet's 2-yard touchdown run for a two-score lead that pretty much iced the game with how inefficient the Texans' offense was.

During the fourth quarter of the Texans' Monday Night Football matchup vs. the Seahawks, wide receiver Nico Collins would go down with a head injury that would lead to him hitting the blue tent, and then to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion.

Among the easiest ways to lose a football game is to lose the turnover battle by a lopsided margin, but the Seahawks were able to overcome that on Monday night.

NFL Week 7 ends with the Seattle Seahawks hosting the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football tonight. MNF start time, TV schedule and how to watch.

C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans offense had few answers for the Seattle Seahawks defense on Monday night. Houston managed just 254 total yards and scored just one offensive touchdown in the 27-19 defeat. A bulk of the yards came in the fourth quarter when the Texans attempted to claw back into the game.

The Houston Texans ' brutal offensive performance on "Monday Night Football" took a turn for the worse in the fourth quarter, when star wide receiver Nico Collins left the game with a concussion. He was initially ruled questionable to return, and then he walked to the locker room shortly thereafter.

If progression was a person, it's be Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba entering a contract season out at Lumen Field against the Texans.

Derek Stingley then woke up by intercepting Darnold on a pass over the middle of the field. This was the 4th takeaway on the day for the Texans defense. (Of course, there was another penalty called on Houston due to unnecessary roughness call on Stingley out of bounds. That was their 7th for 81 total yards.)

Welcome to the Week 7 grades! The final Monday night doubleheader of the season is taking place in Week 7, and there are two big games on the schedule. In the early game, the Detroit Lions (5-2) pulled off a dominant performance in a 24-9 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-2).
