The Seattle Seahawks reach a 10-10 draw against the New York Giants with a sleep walk

Luckily for the Seahawks, Giants running back Eric Gray coughed up the ball just before crossing the goal line on their first possession after driving 79 yards, and safety Rayshawn Jenkins snatched the fumble, sprinting 70 yards before jogging and finally settling en route to a franchise-record 102-yard touchdown return that inexplicably gave the home team a 7-0 lead.

Unfortunately, while Geno Smith completed nine of 14 passes for 97 yards and led a late scoring drive with two quick completions to set up Jason Myers for a game-winning field goal, Seattle's offense stalled for most of the first half without making an attempt Run football. In total, Smith dropped back to pass 15 times on 17 plays, with Ken Walker III rushing for two yards just twice, in part because the team was constantly behind the bats due to poor results on first downs.

The Seahawks had a hard time finding much traction on offense as the Giants aggressively sent extra rushers and the offensive line was unable to keep Smith clean, forcing them to rush throws and incompletions. In the end, they converted just one of four third down conversions while only possessing the ball for eight minutes.

Despite all that, Seattle can count themselves very lucky with the draw, as New York outscored them in all three phases while showing the kind of physical football that coach Mike Macdonald demands from his team. Poor tackles and missed coverages were significant problems on defense, while the offense was unable to run or simply refused to try as the offense was unbalanced and failed to find much of a rhythm in the first two quarters.
