The Jets go into the locker room leading the Seahawks 21 - 16
The first half of the New York Jets’ week 13 game against the Seattle Seahawks is in the books, and the Jets are leading the Seahawks by five points at 21 - 16.
The Jets opened the game on defense and, after allowing a first down they forced a Seahawks punt. The two teams then exchanged several futile drives running the Grunt and Punt offense to perfection.
Late in the first quarter the Jets put together a drive highlighted by a 24-yard completion to Davante Adams and a crucial 15-yard facemask penalty against old friend Leonard Williams on third and long. The Jets finished the drive with a fade to Adams for a touchdown. The extra point attempt was blocked, giving the Jets an early 6 - 0 early lead.
On the ensuing kickoff the Seahawks fumbled and the Jets recovered at the Seahawks’ 27-yard line. A few plays later Isaiah Davis caught a shovel pass and took it in for a touchdown. The Jets succeeded on a two-point conversion and the Jets had a 14 - 0 lead late in the first quarter.
The second quarter opened with the Jets leading 14 - 0 and the Seahawks on the move near midfield. The Seahawks drive was highlighted by a big 25-yard completion to Jaxon Smith-Njigba. A few plays later Geno Smith hit A.J. Barner for a short catch and run touchdown. That made it Jets 14, Seahawks 7 early in the second quarter.
On the ensuing kickoff Jets running back Kene Nwangwu returned the kick for a touchdown and the Jets had a 21 - 7 lead.
The Seahawks fumbled again on the ensuing kickoff and the Jets were in business in Seahawks territory. The Jets drove the ball down to the 10-yard line before Aaron Rodgers missed a wide open Garrett Wilson in the end zone. The next play disaster struck. With the Jets threatening to blowout the Seahawks, Rodgers threw a pick six to Leonard Williams. The Jets blocked the extra point attempt and the game was suddenly within a touchdown at 21 - 13 in favor of the Jets.
On the ensuing kickoff Xavier Gipson had a big return, setting the Jets up with great field position near midfield. The Jets squandered the opportunity, turning the ball over on downs. That gave the Seahawks great field position near midfield, and they took advantage with a short drive and a 54 yard field goal to make the score Jets 21, Seahawks 16 late in the second quarter.
Neither team scored the rest of the half.
The Jets go into the locker room leading the Seahawks by five points at 21 - 16.
