The division went 2-2 on Sunday, as the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams walked away as winners while the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers added another tally to the loss column. The Seahawks took a firm lead in the NFC West with a victory over the New York Jets, despite being down in an early 14-0 hole.
The Seattle Seahawks just played the weirdest NFL game we've ever seen. Despite several total catastrophes on special teams and more random chaos than we'll ever be able to sort out in any meaningful way they came out on top, overcoming a 14-0 hole to beat Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets on the road. Here are the top performers and takeaways this week according to the Pro Football Focus grades for the Seahawks.
The New York Jets lost to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13 despite a few circumstances being on their side. The Jets (3-9) were the home team against a foe from the west coast. On top of that, New York had their bye the week prior so the Jets had some extra rest…
At least Seahawks fans are used to this, right? The Seahawks continued their dedication to never play a normal game with an extra wild one against the Jets on Sunday. After losing fumbles on two kickoff returns and allowing a kickoff to be returned for a touchdown en route to a 21-7 deficit, the Seahawks … won.
The Seattle Seahawks have been clicking on defense of late and appear to be close to getting another important piece of the unit back. During his weekly conversation with Seattle Sports' Brock and Salk, head coach Mike Macdonald said outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu will be back “sooner than later.” At this point, it's unclear if that “sooner” will be this weekend when the first-place Seahawks hit the road for a key NFC West matchup at the Arizona Cardinals. “We're optimistic about him moving forward this week,” Macdonald said.

The New York Jets plan to keep Aaron Rodgers as the starting quarterback, despite his struggles and 3-9 record this season, interim coach Jeff Ulbrich announced Monday.
The Seattle Seahawks came away with their third straight win on Sunday, but their run-game woes bit them again in another short-yardage situation. Trailing 21-16 midway through the third quarter, Seattle had a first-and-goal from the New York Jets 4-yard line. It was the third time in the past four games that Seattle was unable to convert a pivotal short-yardage situation. In overtime of a Week 9 loss to the Rams, the Seahawks had the ball in the red zone and needed just a yard to move the chains, but turned the ball over on downs after running back Kenneth Walker III was stopped for no gain on back-to-back plays.
On his birthday Monday, the Jets' interim coach re-affirmed that Aaron Rodgers was the starting QB. That's telling of the tough 2024 season he's had.

Geno Smith wasn't the answer at quarterback for the Jets, but he was their pallbearer Sunday. Smith put a nail in the Jets' coffin by leading the Seahawks to a critical 26-21 comeback win over the team that drafted him in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft, which sent Gang Green (3-9) to a ninth straight losing season. In a caption-less social media post, Smith rubbed salt in the wound of Jets fans, posting the popular meme of a man who said he showed up at an enemy's funeral to make sure his foe had really died. 3 Geno Smith led the Seahawks past the Jets. AP Smith underwhelmed as the Jets' starter before settling into a backup role with multiple teams, but he has proven to be a legitimate

In what seemed to be a matter of minutes, the Seattle Seahawks imploded in gruesome fashion on special teams at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, gifting the New York Jets 14 points with a pair of fumbles on kick returns as well as allowing a 99-yard touchdown in kick coverage. Under such circumstances, teams rarely find a way to overcome such a litany of mistakes, especially against a team quarterbacked by future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers. After receiver Laviska Shenault coughed up a fumble after tripping over a turf monster on a kick return with New York already ahead 21-7 midway through the second quarter, the game appeared to be teetering on the brink of a blowout with Seattle poised to endure a devastating Week 13 setback against a three-win opponent on the road.
Dec. 1—In the National Football League, so many games swing on a single key mistake. One or two often make the difference. But not this cavalcade of blunders by both teams, the highlights of which not deserving of the kind of stentorian narration offered by the late John Facenda, but rather a PeeWee Herman-type, with calliope accompaniment. It is a vastly overlooked strength in the NFL to win ...
