Aaron Rodgers and the Jets began strong with two early touchdowns but ultimately fell to the Seattle Seahawks due to poor decisions and turnovers. The team's inability to secure a score in the fourth quarter marked their fifth consecutive failure in such a critical moment.
Things started off promising with two touchdowns in the first quarter and then the bottom fell out. QB Aaron Rodgers missed an open Garrett Wilson for a would-be touchdown that would have given the Jets a 28-7 lead.
One play later, he threw an interception that Leonard Williams returned for a touchdown. Breece Hall had a costly fumble late in the third quarter that led to a Seahawks score. The Jets failed again to come up with a score with the game on the line in the fourth quarter. This is the fifth time they have failed in that situation.Aaron Rodgers of the Jets is tackled by Coby Bryant of the Seattle Seahawks as he throws a pass during the fourth quarter in East Rutherford on Dec. 1, 2024.Kene Nwangwu has explosive Jets debut with 99-yard kickoff return for touchdown This was a vintage 2024 Jets defensive performance. The numbers don’t look so bad, but the results do. The Seahawks only managed 259 total yards but when the Jets needed to come up with a stop in the fourth quarter, they folded again. The Seahawks put together a nine-play, 71-yard drive to take the lead with 5:31 left in the game. The drive featured three penalties on fourth down and another on third down that helped Seattle reach the end zone. QB Geno Smith was not great but he did not turn the ball over and led the Seahawks down the field when it mattered.If you’re searching for a silver lining from this one, the Jets special teams had more of an impact than they have all season. Kene Nwangwu returned a kickoff for a touchdown and forced a fumble on a Seahawks return. Seattle had two fumbles that the Jets recovered on returns. The Jets also blocked an extra point and had one blocked.Kene Nwangwu of the Jets runs with the ball during the first half against the Seattle Seahawks Sunday, December 1, 2024 at MetLife StadiumJeff Ulbrich is 1-6 as the interim head coach. His team looked incredibly sloppy in the second half and handed this game to a Seahawks team that seemed to be trying to lose in the first half. The Jets had 12 penalties, eight in the fourth quarter. The offense vanished after the first quarter. The defense collapsed in the fourth quarter. Ulbrich had questionable time management at the end of the first half when he did not use any of his timeouts to try to get the ball back. This remains a terribly coached team.
