played their best football game in two months and kept their playoff hopes alive heading to the final week of the NFL regular season.
The Seahawks need help to get into the playoffs. Seattle will need the Detroit Lions to beat the Green Bay Packers next week at Lambeau Field along with the Seahawks getting their own victory over the Los Angeles Rams. The Lions did beat the Packers 15-9 in Detroit earlier this season. However, they've won just three games in Green Bay since 1992.
The offense of the New York Jets has been far less potent since losing rookie running back Breece Hall to injury midseason. However, such problems haven't kept prior opponents from having big days against Seattle's struggling defensive unit. Darrell Taylor easily had his best game of the season for the Seahawks. He had 2.5 sacks of White on the day with a strip-sack of White on the final play of the first half that was recovered by Uchenna Nwosu. Taylor was a frequent presence in the Jets' backfield and gave former Seahawks tackles Duane Brown and George Fant problems.
In addition to the interceptions by Diggs and Jackson, safety Johnathan Abram dropped a would-be interception of White as well and Tariq Woolen had a chance at another that was fought off by Garrett Wilson on the final drive of the game. Walker's 133 yards marked his second-straight 100-yard game and the fourth time this season he's gone over the century mark. He's over 1,000 yards from scrimmage on the year and just 64 yards away from reaching 1,000 yards rushing for his rookie campaign.
This is the type of football the Seahawks know they need to play in order to win games. During Seattle's late season swoon, they had five straight games where they failed to rush for more than 90 yards in game. The 90-yard effort against the Los Angeles Rams was their only win over that 1-4 stretch and they rushed for 70 yards or less in all four losses.
"It was great to see Tanner have that much play time. Hate the reason why, but Cody went right to Mike and took it over, and Tanner jumped up and away we went. It was a really nice answer," Carroll said.
