Mike F’n White transformed into F’n Mike White Sunday and the Jets’ collapse is now complete.
The Jets lost their fifth straight game, an ugly 23-6 defeat to the Seahawks at Lumen Field to officially be eliminated from the playoffs for a 12th straight year, the longest active drought in the NFL.
On the other side was former Jets quarterback Geno Smith, who has morphed into a Pro Bowler this season in Seattle. He was not spectacular in this one but threw two touchdown passes in the first half and handed the team that drafted him a tough loss. The Jets were trailing 17-6 at halftime but had a chance to get back in the game as they opened the second half with the ball. White found tight end Tyler Conklin on third-and-10 for a 30-yard gain and the Jets were moving. But the drive stalled when White’s third-down pass sailed over Corey Davis’ head. Jets coach Robert Saleh, desperate to get some points, had Greg Zuerlein attempt a 57-yard field goal that sailed wide left.
Seattle continually hit big plays. The first quarter ended with Smith escaping the pass rush and then flipping it to running back DeeJay Dallas for a 41-yard gain. That set up Smith’s second touchdown pass of the day, a 7-yard strike to tight end Tyler Mabry and a 17-3 lead early in the second quarter. It was Mabry’s first career catch.
