Jason Myers’ 56-yard field goal gives Seahawks halftime lead

Jason Myers from long range and the Seahawks lead at the half

A silly play by San Francisco 49ers DB Jimmie Ward toward the end of the second quarter on Saturday proved costly in the NFC Wild-Card game.

Ward was flagged for unnecessary roughness for a hit on Seattle QB Geno Smith.

That didn’t make it a freebie for Jason Myers but the Seattle kicker found the range from 56 yards to give his team a 17-16 lead at the break.

Seattle scored all 17 of its points in the second quarter,

 

Speaking of kickers, the 49ers’ Robbie Gould had three field goals in the first 30 minutes.

In his playoff career, the veteran kicker — he’s 40 years old — has hit all of his 24 field-goal attempts.

Seahawks take lead going into halftime on Jason Myers’ 56-yard field goal

Thank you Jimmie Ward.

Thank you Jimmie Ward.

Thanks to this foolish hit on a sliding Geno Smith with one second left in the first half, the Seahawks were set up to score going into the break.

On the next play, Seattle kicker Myers connected on a 56-yard field goal, giving Seattle a one-point lead going into halftime.

Instead of the blowout everybody expected, this one feels like it’s going to be a classic. The Seahawks lead 17-16 at halftime.

Seahawks K Jason Myers makes first ever player-voted All-Pro team

Here’s the full team.

Seahawks kicker Jason Myers has had a strong 2022 season, bouncing back from an off-year in 2021 when he only made 73.9% of his field goal attempts. This season he’s gone 34/37 – 91.9%. That gives him a great track record in two of the last three years – having led the NFL at 100% in 2020.

Myers isn’t flying under the radar, either. In fact, he’s getting some great recognition from his peers. We were expecting to see Justin Tucker get the nod, but Myers is the kicker and only Seattle player who made the All-Pro team as voted on by the players themselves. Here’s the full team.

3 Studs and 2 Duds in Seahawks’ 19-16 OT win over Rams

A look at the Studs and Duds from the Seattle Seahawks crazy overtime win over the Los Angeles Rams to keep their playoff hopes alive.

[sendtonews_embed video_id=”FyLhBtGm8b-2470711-7498″]

They never make it easy, do they? The Seattle Seahawks once again left the Pacific Northwest holding its breath but ultimately prevailed in a 19-16 overtime win over the Los Angeles Rams. It is the first time the Seahawks have ever swept coach Sean McVay, and the first time Seattle swept the season series versus the Rams since the 2013 Super Bowl XLVIII season.

The Seahawks finish the regular season 9-8, improving upon their 7-10 record last year and a far cry from the 3-to-4-win team many predicted at the beginning of the season.

Seattle still has a chance at the playoffs, and I will discuss that at the end of the article. But for now, let us take a look at this game’s 3 Studs and 2 Duds.

Seahawks down Rams in overtime to remain in playoff hunt … for now

The Seahawks eliminated the Lions and now need Detroit to win

The Seattle Seahawks’ confusing day continues.

They defeated the Los Angeles Rams, 19-16, on Sunday. The Seahawks’ victory eliminated the Detroit Lions from the NFC Wild-Card race.

That’s where the confusion comes into play.

After Seattle ended Detroit’s hopes for a postseason berth, it needs the Lions to defeat the Packers in Game 272 of the regular season.

If the Lions defeat the Packers, the final NFC Wild-Card spot would go to the Seahawks.

Got that?

The Seahawks-Rams game had a bewildering finish as Myers doinked a field goal off the upright to send the game into overtime.

Seattle’s Quandre Diggs picked off Baker Mayfield in overtime and the Seahawks drove 50 yards in 8 plays before Myers redeemed himself from 32 yards.

The Seahawks have seemingly shaken off the funk of their losing streak and have brought their A-game against the Jets today.

That gave Seattle good field possession, but the drive stalled in the red zone. Jason Myers made the field goal, his 23rd straight successful attempt.

The Seahawks lead the Jets 10-0.

All Duds and no Studs in Seahawks 21-13 loss to 49ers

or the second time in the Pete Carroll era, the Seattle Seahawks have dropped three consecutive games at home after losing to the 49ers.

For the second time in the Pete Carroll era, the Seattle Seahawks have dropped three consecutive games at home. On Thursday night the San Francisco 49ers completed the season sweep of the Seahawks for the first time since 2011 with a 21-13 decision.

To add insult to injury, the 49ers clinched the NFC West Championship with their victory. It is San Francisco’s first division crown since 2019, which was also claimed at Lumen Field. The 49ers have now won the NFC West in Seattle more times in the last four years than the Seahawks have. Ouch.

Seattle’s offense could do little against perhaps the best defense in the NFL and floundered all night long. The defense played admirably given the circumstances but had two disastrous lapses in coverage to give San Francisco instant touchdowns. Given how the offense was playing, it was all the Niners needed.

The Seahawks fall to 7-7 and are as cold as the mid-December air. A quick shoutout to kicker Jason Myers whose 51-yard field goal tied Stephen Hauschka for most games (6) with successful 50+ yard kicks in franchise history. Aside from Mr. Myers, it’s a Duds-heavy list this week

3 Studs and 3 Duds in Seahawks 19-9 win over Arizona Cardinals

Here are the three studs and three duds from the Seattle Seahawks 19-9 win over the Arizona Cardinals Week 6 at Lumen Field.

Show of hands, who saw this one coming? The Seattle Seahawks have improved to 3-3 after outlasting the Arizona Cardinals in a 19-9 defensive struggle in Week 6.

Given how porous Seattle’s defense has been, and how dominant the Cardinals typically are at Lumen Field, it was easy to predict the game being another shootout for the Seahawks. It couldn’t have been further from reality. The Seahawks defense completely shut down the Cardinals, holding Kyler Murray and Co. to a lone field goal. Seattle sacked the elusive Heisman winner six times and forced two turnovers out of him.

The Seahawks offense wasn’t as high-octane but did more than enough to earn a much-needed win. Rookie running back Kenneth Walker (more on him shortly) paved the way and was a major reason Seattle is back in a tie for first place in the NFC West.
