Halftime Observations: Seahawks Trail Jets 21-16 Despite Special Teams Implosion
Partaking in a comedy of errors at MetLife Stadium, thanks to a historic play by Leonard Williams, the Seattle Seahawks somehow went into the break only trailing the New York Jets 21-16 despite a litany of special teams gaffes.
Turning in one of the worst special teams performances by an NFL team in recent memory, kick returners Dee Williams and Laviska Shenault both lost fumbles in the first half, Seattle’s kick coverage team allowed a 99-yard touchdown to Kene Nwangwu, and Jason Myers had a point after attempt blocked. One of the aforementioned fumbles set up a short touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers to Isaiah Davis, pushing New York out in front 14-0 before the end of the first quarter.
However, the second of those unfortunate fumbles turned into points for the Seahawks. Moments after Shenault coughed up the football after tripping up on his own and the Jets recovered, Rodgers didn’t see Williams dropping back on a zone blitz and the veteran defender reeled in a pick, following a caravan of blockers down the sideline for a 92-yard interception return for a touchdown, instantly cutting the score to 21-13.
Aside from Williams’ outstanding effort, Geno Smith cut into an early 14-point deficit rolling out to his left and finding rookie tight end AJ Barner for a 12-yard touchdown to open the second quarter. The veteran quarterback completed nine out of 16 passes for 87 yards, including two 25-yard completions to Jaxon Smith-Njigba that set up Barner’s touchdown.
While Ken Walker III wasn’t able to get untracked in the first half with just 16 rushing yards on seven carries, Zach Charbonnet produced 18 yards on two carries, providing Seattle with a bit of balance on offense.
The Seahawks were able to tack on three extra points inside the final five minutes when Rodgers’ fourth down pass attempt at midfield to Davante Adams wasn’t caught through the ground. Benefiting from excellent starting field position as a result, Myers booted a 54-yard field goal just over the crossbar in a rare positive special teams play to trim the deficit to five.
For the half, both Seattle and New York converted on just three out of seven third down opportunities, including Rodgers misfiring on a potential touchdown pass to Garrett Wilson, and neither offense eclipsed 160 total yards for the half. Despite stellar play by both defenses, however, mistakes on special teams and Rodgers’ pick six turned this into a surprisingly high scoring affair through the first 30 minutes.
In addition to his interception return, Leonard Williams also took a point off the board early when he blocked a point after attempt following Rodgers first touchdown pass to Davante Adams. Unfortunately, the Jets were able to get that point back by converting a two-point conversion with a Breece Hall run on the next drive following Dee Williams’ lost fumble on special teams.

There’s been a question about the future of Seattle Seahawks edge rusher DeMarcus Lawrence this offseason.
It may have been answered Monday.
Two Takes: Should Seattle Seahawks extend Derick Hall?
Just weeks after the Seahawks won the Super Bowl in February, ESPN’s Brady Henderson said “one of the first questions” the Hawks had to answer this offseason is “whether or not DeMarcus Lawrence is coming back.”
Generally, the sentiment in the months since has been that the 34 year old is not retiring, but there has not been a concrete answer from the five-time Pro Bowler or the Seahawks on his status for 2026. The closest thing to it came from Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald in late March, when he said, “To my knowledge, he’s coming back” to reporters at the NFL’s annual league meeting in Phoenix.
In the Seahawks.com article Monday announcing Seattle’s signing of veteran edge rusher Dante Fowler Jr., there was a statement that seemed to indicate where Lawrence, who is a 12-year NFL veteran, stands on the retirement question.
Fowler said that before he ultimately decided to sign with the Seahawks, he talked for roughly a half-hour on FaceTime with Lawrence, who was his teammate with the Dallas Cowboys in 2022 and 2023.
Lawrence had a message that helped convince Fowler to join Seattle: “If you want to win a Super Bowl, you should come here.”
That sounds like a statement you’d hear from somebody who’s planning to play in 2026, doesn’t it?
Seattle Sports’ Brock Huard thinks so.
“(The Seahawks) have gotten no indication whatsoever that he is retiring. And on top of it, I kind of read this as I don’t think you go full-boat and sell the organization in that way unless you also want to be a part of it and … go get that ring again,” said Huard, a longtime FOX football analyst and former NFL quarterback, on Tuesday’s edition of Brock and Salk.
On top of it all, what Lawrence said to Fowler is a great sales pitch for the Seahawks.
“Dante Fowler made it really abundantly clear, the final push was DeMarcus Lawrence. And the final push was: you want to win a Super Bowl, then you’ve got to be a Seattle Seahawk. And I don’t think there is any stronger (sales pitch than) word of mouth,” Huard said. “… That’s what you want, right? In any business, in any kind of marketing, the best advertising and the best marketing and the best sales pitch is what? Word of mouth. And when it comes from within and somebody with the credibility that DeMarcus Lawrence has too and the relationship he has with Dante Fowler, that was the final selling point. Job well done.”
Brock Huard answers three football questions in the Blue 88 segment at 7:45 a.m. during each episode of Brock and Salk. Catch Brock and Salk weekdays from 6-10 a.m. on Seattle Sports.
