One week after firing defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, the New York Jets come out and allow Seattle to score 40 unanswered points. After a solid opening drive ending in a Sergio Castillo field goal, the Seahawks took over and didn’t look back. Sam Darnold served up plenty of would-be interceptions that Seattle defenders flat out dropped, including one by Jamal Adams. Nothing was working offensively, averaging only 3.0 YPC in the run game, including a lost fumble by Frank Gore. New York went into halftime down 23-3, and it would only get worse in the second half.
If not for benching their starters at the end of the third quarter, Seattle could’ve gone for more points.
