The Seattle Seahawks come to FedEx Field on Monday night not only as defending Super Bowl champions, but also as the NFL’s winningest team under bright lights of Monday Night Football.

Seattle is 20-8 all-time on MNF, a winning percentage of .714, and enters its game at FedEx on an eight-game winning streak on Monday nights.

Coach Pete Carroll owns a 10-1 record in prime-time games since taking over in Seattle in 2010.

The Redskins, meanwhile, have lost their past six prime-time matchups. Washington owns an all-time record of 27-35 on Monday Night Football. Washington’s winning percentage of .435 in those games ranks 25th in the 32-team league.

The teams contrast in several other ways.

The Seahawks have won 22 of their past 27 regular-season games. The Redskins, have won only 11 of their past 27.

Washington, however, does enter this game having won its past six regular season matchups against the Seahawks. But Seattle has won each of the past two playoff meetings, the most recent of which took place at the end of the 2012 season, a game most Redskins fans will remember for the injury suffered by quarterback Robert Griffin III.
