Aside from a historic fumble return, the Seahawks came out flat in their return home, allowing the Giants to look like an offensive juggernaut in a tied game.
By nearly every measure, the Seattle Seahawks got outclassed by the upset-minded New York Giants in a forgettable first half, but good fortune and an opportunistic play allowed them to head into the break knotted up at 10-10 at Lumen Field.
Overall, New York outgained Seattle 226 to 90 while converting four out of eight third down chances and possessing the football for nearly 22 minutes, including three possessions of eight plays or more. Unfortunately, while Geno Smith completed nine out of 14 passes for 97 yards and led a late scoring drive with two quick completions to set up Jason Myers for a game-tying field goal, Seattle's offense sputtered for most of the first half while making no attempt to run the football. Overall, Smith dropped back to pass 15 times on 17 plays with Ken Walker III only rushing twice for two yards, in part because the team was constantly behind the sticks from poor outcomes on first down.
