The Seahawks haven’t done much on offense to open games. Only one opening offensive drive has resulted in a score this season, and three have resulted in punts.

Sunday
Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Chicago Bears (London)
1st JAX Jaguars Drive Result: Punt -110
Opening drives have been a struggle for the Jaguars. Only one of their five opening offensive drives has not resulted in a punt. But, that’s only because that drive was ended by a turnover.
As for the Bears, they’ve forced a punt in three of their five opening defensive drives.
Atlanta Falcons vs. Carolina Panthers

This very play was highlighted last week, and bettors were rewarded. London has caught a pass in each of Atlanta’s five game-opening offensive drives this season.
