First half highlights and analysis: Seahawks trail Jets 21-16

The Seattle Seahawks have literally never played in a normal game, and this adage continues into Week 13 against the New York Jets. It has been a bizarre, sloppy, and explosive affair between these two teams. What started to look like another defensive battle quickly devolved.

New York found the end zone first, but Leonard Williams blocked the PAT. Little would we know, it was only the start of horrendous special teams play.

On the ensuing kick off, Seattle’s return man Dee Williams fumbled the ball. Williams has been a liability in the return game all season long, and it reared its ugly head once more, as his muffed return was recovered by New York at Seattle’s 27-yard line. The Jets quickly found the end zone for the second time today four plays later to extend their lead to 14-0 thanks to a successful two-point conversion.

The Seahawks were finally able to answer, as they engineered a 10-play, 83 yard touchdown drive. Seattle was backed up further than they should, as Laviska Shenault fumbled the kick off, but was able to recover it. Geno Smith found rookie AJ Barner for the touchdown.

Well, Seattle’s momentum was quickly robbed as Jets running back Kene Nwangwu returned the ball 99-yards for a touchdown to go up 21-7. Unfortunately, the special teams disasterclass would continue…. as after the touchdown, Laviska Shenault fumbled again. Only this time, New York would recover at Seattle’s 38-yard line.

Just to quickly recap, here is what the Seahawks special teams situation has been in the first half alone.

However, I wonder if the Jets social media admin might regret tweeting out “Football is fun!” because six plays later, quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ pass was picked off by defensive lineman Leonard Williams, who promptly returned the ball 91-yards.

The Seahawks’ special teams woes continued, as the PAT attempt was blocked, keeping the score 21-13. However, Jason Myers did have redemption as he nailed a 54-yard field goal to cut the lead to 21-16, which is where it lasted into halftime. Myers’ field goal was his seventh from 50+ yards in a single season, breaking his own Seahawks franchise record he set last year.

New York will get the ball to start the second half. Be sure to follow @TheSeahawksWire and @KoleMusgrove23 on Twitter for more live updates, analysis and highlights!

The Seahawks love playing at MetLife Stadium

The Seahawks love playing at MetLife Stadium

The Seattle Seahawks are once again returning to MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands to face a New York team. Interestingly, this time it will not be the Giants, but instead the Jets. It will be the first time the Seahawks have played the Jets on their home turf.

Well, maybe I shouldn’t be calling MetLife “home turf” for the New York teams, because it has turned into a home-away-from home for the Seahawks. Ever since MetLife Stadium first opened its doors in 2010, Seattle has known nothing but victory on this turf. Whether the opponents are wearing blue, green or even orange, the Seahawks reign supreme in the Meadowlands.

It’s never a bad time to take a trip down memory lane, so let us do just that, shall we? Here are all six wins the Seahawks have earned at MetLife Stadium:

  • Oct. 9th, 2011 – Seahawks 36, Giants 25
  • Dec.15th, 2013 – Seahawks 23, Giants 0
  • Feb. 2nd, 2014 – Seahawks 43, Broncos 8 (Super Bowl XLVIII)
  • Oct. 2nd, 2016 – Seahawks 27, Jets 17
  • Oct. 22nd, 2017 – Seahawks 24, Giants 7
  • Oct. 2nd, 2023 – Seahawks 24, Giants 3

As you can see, Sunday will mark only the second time Seattle has traveled to New York/New Jersey for a road game against the Jets. Interestingly enough, the Jets have traveled to Lumen Field twice since the 2016 season, both being dominant Seahawks victories as well.

Seahawks elevate S Ty Okada and QB Jaren Hall from practice squad

Seahawks elevate S Ty Okada and QB Jaren Hall from practice squad

The Seattle Seahawks have made a pair of roster moves on Saturday prior to their Week 13 game against the New York Jets. The Seahawks elevated safety Ty Okada and quarterback Jaren Hall from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster.

Okada has made the move from practice squad to the active roster a few times this year, being active in both games against San Francisco and Atlanta. So far this year he has logged three total tackles. Okada knows the system and provides depth at safety.

Meanwhile, elevating Jaren Hall is a little curious. Hall was signed to the Seahawks at the beginning of September after spending his rookie season with the Minnesota Vikings. Hall played in three games, started two, and won one of them. However, the one win was one where he was knocked out of the game with a concussion, did not return, but the Vikings still held on for a victory. This will be the first time the Seahawks have rolled with three quarterbacks for a game day.

The Seahawks and Jets will kick off Sunday at 10:00 am Pacific time on FOX.

Seattle Seahawks Week 13 TV coverage map

Seattle Seahawks Week 13 TV coverage map

The Seattle Seahawks are taking on the New York Jets this weekend at the Meadowlands. Seattle is back in the early 10:00 am Pacific slot of games, a time zone they have excelled in recent years. The Seahawks will look to keep their winning ways going against a Jets team on life support.

But of course, none of this matters if you can’t watch the game! Seattle will once again be broadcast on FOX, and have the broadcast duo of Adam Amin and Mark Sanchez. Below is the television coverage map for the Seahawks/Jets game. If you are in the lime green zone, congrats! You will get to see these teams face off Sunday morning.

Sunday will mark the Seahawks’ first trip to the Meadowlands to play the Jets since the 2016 season, when Seattle beat New York 27-17. This will also mark the first time the Seahawks have had to defend against quarterback Aaron Rodgers since 2021, when Green Bay shut Seattle out 17-0 at Lambeau Field.

Rodgers, while still deadly, is not the quarterback he once was. Although, at age 40 and coming off an Achilles injury, Rodgers is having a solid statistical season with 17 touchdown passes against 7 interceptions. However, he has not thrown a pick since October 20th.

We have finally reached the end of the road with this journey, as we’ll be taking a look at the final division: the AFC East.

The entire NFC is complete, and you can look back on the previous AFC divisions, the North, South and West.

The NFC West and the AFC East were last paired with each other during the COVID-19 season of 2020.

Best Twitter reactions to Pete Carroll’s tweet about Sauce Gardner

Although Gardner did not seem to enjoy Carroll’s response, plenty of folks online did.

There’s seems to be some online beef between Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll and New York Jets star corner Sauce Gardner.

Gardner made comments about how his pre-draft interview was not great with the Seahawks, since Carroll was allegedly uncomfortably close to him. It caught Carroll’s attention, and he responded with a funny tweet. Although Gardner did not seem to enjoy Carroll’s response, plenty of folks online did.

Here are some of the best reactions to Carroll’s comedic tweet at the Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Jets CB Sauce Gardner not happy with Pete Carroll’s joke on Twitter

It appears there is a bit of a cross country rivalry brewing between the Seattle Seahawks and the New York Jets… or perhaps just Sauce Gardner.

Jets star cornerback Sauce Gardner recently made headlines with comments regarding his draft process, and he wasn’t exactly thrilled with the Seahawks. According to Gardner, he says he was uncomfortable during his interview with the Seahawks because Pete Carroll was too close to him.

Well, Gardner’s comments certainly made their way to Carroll’s attention, and Seattle’s 71 year old coach responded to the 2022 Defensive Rookie of the Year on Twitter.

It does not take long when browsing through Carroll’s Twitter account to see he is not the most active user. Tweets from him are infrequent, and understandably mostly Seahawks related content. Clearly, Gardner’s comments struck a nerve with Carroll enough for him to poke a little fun online.

However, Gardner did not seem to appreciate the joke and fired back on his Twitter. He also continued to talk about it on his live Twitch stream, accusing Seattle’s PR team of merely being jealous of his Defensive Rookie of the Year award.

It appears there is a bit of a cross country rivalry brewing between the Seattle Seahawks and the New York Jets… or perhaps just Sauce Gardner. However, both sides will have to wait at least a year to duke it out on the field, as the Seahawks and Jets are not scheduled to play each other in 2023.

Unless of course, they meet in the Super Bowl. If that’s the case, bring a jacket because Hell obviously froze over.
