Seattle allowed 56 yards rushing on six attempts in the first quarter but just 19 on 11 the rest of the way. 6 as the Seahawks also finished the game without leading tackler Jordyn Brooks, who suffered a knee injury with 5:30 to play in the second quarter and was immediately ruled out. Lockett left for the locker room late in the second quarter with what was listed as a leg injury. Seattle was at 27% heading into the day. It also makes the formula for getting to the playoffs pretty simple. The Seattle offense didn’t do much after scoring on each of its first three drives with the Seahawks gaining just 16 yards in the second quarter and getting just two field goals in the second half.

Geno Smith threw a pair of touchdowns in the first half and the Seahawks defense picked Mike White off twice in a 23-6 win that moves them to 8-8 on the season.

Given how much promise this season once held, there could also be changes coming to the coaching staff of a team that looked destined for a better ending when they were 6-3. With the Commanders losing on Sunday, the Seahawks will be able to book a spot in the playoffs with a win over the Rams next weekend and a Packers loss to the Lions. The Jets will not be making any push.

The Seahawks are still in the race for the final playoff spot in the NFC and the Rams have one last chance to ruin their fun. They were officially eliminated from contention with their loss to the Packers in Week 15, but it’s been a foregone conclusion for a while. They can play spoiler against none other than the Seahawks.

The Seahawks are still alive for the playoffs and will get a pick in the top five in the NFL Draft. Where both stand with one game left.

1 overall pick for the first time in franchise history is over for this year, but a Broncos loss and a Week 18 win by the Chicago Bears (3-13) would bump the selection up to No. The dream of the Seahawks getting the No. There is still a chance of the pick falling to either No. That means Seattle’s finale of the regular season against the Los Angeles Rams (5-11) is do or die, because a Seahawks loss would ensure they finish with a worse record than whichever team wins the Lions-Packers matchup. We shouldn’t get bogged down in a three-way tiebreaker scenario (or the fact Seattle technically holds the spot), though, because the Lions and Packers play each other in Week 18 – so unless they tie, one will finish 9-8 and the other will be 8-9.

The Seahawks are .500 and still in the hunt for a playoff spot. Here's how reporter Bob Condotta graded their win over the Jets.

Overall, a good day here as Michael Dickson pinned the Jets at the 1 and the 13 on two of his four punts while Jason Myers made three of four field goals. A really solid day with the caveat that the Jets have had QB issues all year and Mike White — making just his fourth start of the season and seventh of his career — seemed a little skittish and off-target throughout. Things changed dramatically with Jordyn Brooks leaving with a knee injury with just over five minutes to go in the second quarter. And as the game wore on, the pass rush showed up with Seattle getting four sacks in the final three quarters — 2.5 by edge rusher Darrell Taylor and 1.5 by Quinton Jefferson, who now has a career-high 5.5. This was a tough matchup going against a pretty stout Jets line, and especially tackle Quinnen Williams. With the Jets paying so much attention to the receivers — and due to how good their corners are — it made sense for Seattle to feature the tight ends more, even without Will Dissly. And the result was the second-best game of his career with 133 yards on 23 carries. Metcalf maybe should have had a catch on a third down in front of the Seattle sideline, and Seattle is going to have to get more production from him to go much further in this season. Kenneth Walker III got 60 yards on his first carry of the game, and 11 on his third. Grade: B-plus But then, that was to be expected going against a good Jets pass defense and with a banged-up receiver corps. Smith, though, made a few spectacular plays early — the TD throw to Colby Parkinson, the flip to DeeJay Dallas that set up the second touchdown — and from there all that was really needed was not turning the ball over.

The Seahawks kept their playoff hopes alive with a 23-6 win over the Jets on Sunday, but head into the final week of the regular season not fully in control ...

For the Seahawks to make the playoffs, they need to beat the Rams at home next weekend, and they also need a Lions win over the Packers or a tie between those two teams. the New York Jets at Lumen Field on January 1, 2023. Game action photos are presented by Washington's Lottery.

Seahawks keep playoff hopes alive with win, eliminate Jets ... Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith throws against the New York Jets Sunday. Smith threw for.

The Jets (7-9) last reached the postseason in 2011 and will finish with a losing record for the seventh straight season. The running game helped, especially with Tyler Lockett limited playing with a broken bone in his left hand and DK Metcalf held to one catch for 3 yards. Smith threw touchdowns of 12 yards to Colby Parkinson on the first possession of the game and 7 yards to Tyler Mabry early in the second quarter. Smith also hit big throws of 29 yards to Noah Fant and a 41-yard catch-and-run to DeeJay Dallas where Smith backhanded the pass scrambling away from pressure. "You know it's fun to be in that position and and the guys held on great." Smith finished 18 of 29 for 183 yards and was especially good in the first half.

Tyler Mabry, bouncing on and off the Seahawks practice squad the past two seasons, waived and released on four different occasions, needed some advice.

“Just keep the faith that no matter what it’s going to happen,” Mabry said. “I was practicing in my head: ‘If I score, this is what I’m going to do.’ And it happened.” Noah Fant added two catches for 40 yards, including a 29-yard reception in the first quarter. And no matter what happens, I’m going to embrace my role.” “He’s a guy who’s worked his butt off, stayed in it,” Smith said. He immediately leapt to his feet and performed a dance routine, smacking both of his hips as if he was riding a horse.

Quandre Diggs said the idea for the return came from watching a Deion Sanders clip on TikTok.

And I appreciate having a teammate like him that is selfless and understands we got to do whatever it takes to win.” Reed, and with Seattle dealing with injury issues that left Metcalf and Lockett as the only two proven receivers left. That’s just how good he is and how good Tyler is. “No lie, I was on TikTok and I saw when Deion came back for his last year in Baltimore when he was wearing 37, and I saw him do it, it might have been on Tuesday. “He’ll be all right,” Diggs said. “Shoutout to Deion,” Diggs said.

Geno Smith kept the Seahawks in the playoff hunt while eliminating the Jets, his former team, with a blowout win on Sunday.

The last time the Seahawks relied on help for a playoff berth was in 2017, and they didn’t get it — the Falcons beat the Panthers to eliminate Seattle before kickoff at Lumen Field. Not controlling one’s playoff future has to be frustrating, but it’s doubtful it will impact how the Seahawks prepare. A Seahawks defeat at the hands of a team that has now lost five straight would have confirmed all suspicion that they were never postseason-worthy to begin with. So though the Seahawks are still alive, they are not necessarily well — especially given that the Lions are 3-27 vs. They just need to beat the Rams … But the Seahawks did what they were supposed to (and had to) do in hammering a sliding Jets squad in all three phases of the game, thus giving themselves a chance at the playoffs before the final game of the season.

The Seattle Seahawks did what they had to do to remain in the playoff picture, defeating the New York Jets, who are now eliminated from the playoffs.

The Seattle Seahawks played their best football game in two months and kept their playoff hopes alive heading to the final week of the NFL regular season.

It was his first career catch in the NFL in his ninth ever game with the Seahawks. "Tyler got banged on his right lower leg in the game and it just bothered him," Carroll said. "He tried to get warm, loose, and stayed in to do that, and then came back and got out there and got on the field again. The Seahawks announced that Lockett was questionable to return with a leg injury and he eventually did re-enter the game, but played limited snaps. He spun on the back of Uzomah as he tried to pull him to the ground and he immediately reached for his right knee after his leg planted hard.

The Jets felt like they had some hope after the events of last weekend, but it was ultimately false hope. Seattle in the final three quarters held New York without an explosive run, which put the burden on White and the passing game to try and keep the Jets’ season alive.

The Seahawks are facing a favorable matchup in Week 18. They are in a three-way tie for the lone undecided playoff spot with the Lions (8-8) and Packers (8-8), so the battle for the No. The Seahawks can certainly make the playoffs, but they need to win in Week 18 for that to happen. The Seahawks are the No. The Seahawks were facing a tough test in Week 18 as they looked to stay alive in the NFC playoff race. Here's a breakdown of their playoff chances and where they stand in the NFC after Week 17.

The Seahawks kept their playoff hopes alive yesterday, but their defense is likely to be shorthanded for next week's regular season finale.

Seattle needs a win against the Rams and help from the Lions to clinch the NFC’s final postseason berth, though their prospects in the playoffs would be hindered significantly if Brooks were unable to play. Brooks had already made four stops prior to suffering the injury, giving him 161 on the season, his second straight as a full-time starter in the middle of Seattle’s defense. The Texas Tech alum set a franchise record with 183 tackles in 2021, and put up similar numbers prior to the injury. That combination helped the Seahawks hold the Jets to just six points on Sunday, and they will both likely need to play starter’s snaps once again in Week 18 if Brooks’ injury does indeed turn out to be significant. The news confirms the team’s worst fears, and means he will be unavailable for the remainder of the season, regardless of how deep (if at all) Seattle goes into the postseason. 11:57am: Brooks has suffered a torn ACL, head coach Pete Carroll said on Monday.

If the Jets can find a competent and consistent quarterback—either an improved Wilson or someone else—they can be a factor in the AFC for years to come. The fact that the Jets—who won a combined six games in 2020 and 2021—were even still alive entering Sunday's game is a testament to how far this team has come. Saleh appears to be a quality coach, and he has New York trending in the right direction. While Johnson (5.8 yards per carry) looked solid against Seattle, the Jets rushed for just 75 yards and 4.4 yards per carry as a team. The Jets rank 19th in yards per carry and 25h in rushing. The Jets might have picked up another win or two along the way to Week 17 as well. It's a disappointing end for a team that looked to have finally turned the corner in 2022. The Jets were rolling at 5-2 when Hall suffered a torn ACL and meniscus, and the rookie runner was emerging as a star. Without Hall, the Jets have relied on the likes of Michael Carter, Zonovan Knight and Ty Jones. Instead of playing in the postseason, the Jets may have to watch the division-rival Dolphins or New England Patriots take their spot. The Jets might not even get the chance to play spoiler in Week 18 against Miami. With the Miami Dolphins losing earlier in the day, New York had a prime opportunity to keep its playoff hopes very much alive.

Lockett, who was returning from hand surgery after missing one game, exited the game in the second half with a leg injury. Ty Johnson got the start in the backfield and scampered for 22 yards on his first carry. Gardner's performance was a silver lining for what was a tough day at the office otherwise. There's going to be arm tackles, just run and it's going to open up.

Seattle will also have to make a choice on whether or not to pick up Brooks' fifth year option this spring and there's no question the injury will weigh into that decision-making process for general manager John Schneider. With reconstructive knee surgery typically taking at least eight months for recovery, if not longer, the team could be without him for a large chunk of the 2023 season, creating an unexpected need at middle linebacker heading towards free agency and the draft. From a short-term standpoint, Carroll said Seattle will slide Cody Barton to the MIKE linebacker spot and he will take over defensive play caller duties that Brooks has held all season. Uzomah in the second quarter, Brooks landed awkwardly on his right leg and his knee appeared to buckle in a dreaded non-contact injury. The third-year defender will need to undergo reconstructive knee surgery and will miss the rest of the season.

This is the paradox of Seattle's season. They undoubtedly overachieved from their preseason expectations, but not their revised expectations.

One of the frustrations for Seattle is that Sunday’s performance, albeit against a nose-diving Jets team, showed the optimal side of the Seahawks’ potential. But they will need someone else to figure out how to stymie a resurgent Packers team that looked dead in the water when they lost five in a row and seven of eight to sit 4-8 on Nov. The Seahawks’ best asset is a Lions team that is nearly as hot as Green Bay, with seven wins in their past nine games. Since then, the Packers have rolled off four wins in a row with Rodgers back to his craftiest and most resourceful self. Smith, minus many of his top receiving weapons and barely able to find a double- and triple-teamed DK Metcalf (one catch, 3 yards), played a solid, mistake-free game. “It sucks we’re in a position where we’ve got to watch other people, and we did that to ourselves.” It was clearly great fun for all — but afterward they struggled to rid themselves of the green mess. They undoubtedly overachieved from their preseason expectations, but by the revised expectations of many after four straight wins and a 6-3 record in early November, their cup should have been filled with Champagne. “You don’t realize how that can come back and bite you in the ass, you know? The league-wide scuttlebutt was whether the Packers would blow up their roster after what was clearly a lost season and part ways with Aaron Rodgers. “It is what it is,” concluded Jefferson. You can throw in an overtime loss to the 6-10 Las Vegas Raiders, too.

But it’s a division game, and the Bears were competitive in a 29-22 loss at Minnesota earlier this season. Rodgers threw three interceptions in a 15-9 loss to the Lions in Detroit in November. There has never been a scoreboard-watching Sunday like the one coming up. As you probably know, the Seahawks need to win this week and hope that Detroit beats Green Bay. The Seahawks are 8-8 with a plus-3 point differential, about where a .500 team should be.

After two years of waiting for the opportunity, the Maryland alum turned his first NFL catch into a crucial score to help keep Seattle's playoff hopes alive.
