Oh boy, good luck wrapping your mind around that whirlwind of a first half. As par for the course, the Seattle Seahawks are once again wrapped into another bizarre prime time game. Both the Seahawks and Giants have played rather sloppily, but fortunately Seattle is on top for now.
In a messy, flag-filled first quarter, the Seahawks managed to take an early lead as time expired. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones fumbled the ball, which Seattle recovered and turned into points.
A @dkm14 touchdown to end the quarter! 🤩

Unfortunately, injuries continue to pile on for the Seahawks, and they’ve struck quarterback Geno Smith. Smith, pushed out of bounds on a late hit, seemed to suffer a lower-leg injury. Smith was carted back to the locker room for x-rays, as backup Drew Lock came in. Lock, in his first regular season action with Seattle, made an immediate impact.
GO NOAH GO!

Perhaps the biggest impact on defense has not been safety Jamal Adams, who left early with a concussion, but rookie Devon Witherspoon.
