Now THAT is what we’ve been waiting to see. The Seahawks got up early, pulled on their boots, and set themselves to stomping on their east coast hosts in a 27-17 victory over the Jets that wasn’t even that close. It was the team’s most complete performance of the season, as they outplayed New York in just about every facet of the game.
The Jets, to their credit, had a terrific first drive, with Matt Forte and Quincy Enunwa presenting difficult challenges in the open field and Ryan Fitzpatrick calmly checking down under pressure. The drive came to a weird conclusion when, on 3rd & 14 from the Seahawks’ 18, a short completion over the middle turned into a fumble recovered by Jeremy Lane.
