The Seahawks, who had struggled mightily all season, played with newfound determination and execution, capitalizing on crucial mistakes by the Giants. The first half was a defensive slugfest, with both teams failing to score. The Seahawks’ defense performed admirably, holding the Giants to just 53 yards of total offense. However, the second half was a different story. Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson, who had been mired in an inconsistent season, found his rhythm in the third quarter. He connected with wide receiver DK Metcalf for a 65-yard touchdown pass, giving the Seahawks their first points of the game. The Giants responded with a field goal, but the Seahawks refused to be denied. Running back Rashaad Penny broke free for a 52-yard run, setting up Wilson for another touchdown pass, this time to Tyler Lockett. As the clock wound down, the Giants made a desperate attempt at a comeback. Quarterback Daniel Jones led a late drive into Seattle territory, but his pass on fourth down was intercepted by Seahawks safety Quandre Diggs, sealing the upset. The victory was a major boost for the Seahawks, who had lost seven of their previous nine games. It also snapped a four-game losing streak for Seattle against the Giants. For the Giants, the defeat was a bitter pill to swallow. They had been heavily favored to win the game, but they were outplayed in every phase by a desperate Seahawks team. The upset has thrown the NFC East race into chaos. The Giants, once thought to be clear favorites, are now just one game ahead of the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles. The Seahawks, meanwhile, have revived their playoff hopes and are now in the thick of the Wild Card race. The NFL season is full of unexpected twists and turns, and Sunday’s upset by the Seahawks is a perfect example.
