The Seattle Seahawks, as the Jets’ Week 17 opponent, already have several ties to Gang Green.
The most obvious is the Geno Smith revenge game. The former Jets second-round pick was selected to the Pro Bowl after putting together one of the finest breakout seasons ever seen from a previously-deemed draft bust. Smith will be looking to propel his team to the playoffs against the franchise that allowed a punch to the face to end his tenure as a starter.
Sauce Gardner vs. Tariq Woolen is another narrative. The two rookie corners have been the two main competitors in the Defensive Rookie of the Year conversation for most of the season.
