Seahawks Stun Jets with Late Comeback
The New York Jets’ ability to lose in spectacular fashion knows no bounds — and yet another befuddling collapse took place on Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium.
Game Recap
Blowing a 14-0 first-quarter lead, the Jets were outscored 26-7 in the final three quarters — including a 19-0 run — which ended with Zach Charbonnet’s eight-yard touchdown run with 5:31 remaining in the game to lift the Seattle Seahawks to a 26-21 victory.
The loss drops the Jets to 3-9 on the season, including eight losses in their last nine games, heaping further misery on a season that once began with playoff aspirations.
Post-Game Quotes
“The biggest thing is finishing,” linebacker Quincy Williams told SNY. “Close games like that, you have to be at your best when your best is required.”
“I want to say some things, but it is what it is,” Williams said. “At the end of the day, it’s on us. Can’t say it’s Vegas, can’t say it’s the refs. It has to be on us. We have to be detailed in close games. You can’t give them things.”
Game Highlights
Leonard Williams recorded two sacks and a 92-yard pick-six, while Geno Smith passed for 206 yards with one touchdown. The Seahawks went for it twice during their game-winning drive and were bailed out twice by Jets penalties.
Conclusion
The Jets’ season continues to spiral out of control, with their latest loss dropping them to 3-9. The team’s inability to finish games and make crucial plays has been a recurring theme all season, and it’s unclear what changes will be made to turn things around.
