Rookie Devon Witherspoon performs with 97-yard pick six as Seahawks D dominates to lead Seattle over Giants

The Seattle Seahawks dominate the New York Giants with a 24-3 victory, including a 97-yard interception return for a touchdown.

The Seattle Seahawks dominated the struggling New York Giants in a 24-3 victory on Monday night, tying a team record with 11 sacks and showcasing their defensive prowess. Rookie cornerback Devon Witherson made a significant impact on the game with a 97-yard interception return for a touchdown in the third quarter. This play helped solidify the Seahawks' lead and ultimately secure their third consecutive win.

The Seahawks' offense also contributed to the victory, with Geno Smith throwing a 6-yard touchdown pass to DK Metcalf and Keneth Walker III scoring on a 1-yard run. These offensive plays, combined with the strong defensive performance, propelled the Seahawks to a comfortable victory.

Notably, the Seahawks' defense was relentless, recording a total of 11 sacks throughout the game. Bobby Wagner, Jordyn Brooks, Witherspoon, and Uchenna Nwosu each had two sacks, while Wagner also recorded an impressive 17 tackles. This defensive dominance played a crucial role in limiting the Giants' offensive opportunities and securing the win for the Seahawks.

On the Giants' side, their offense struggled throughout the game, only managing a field goal by Graham Gano. The absence of star running back Saquon Barkley and left tackle Andrew Thomas due to injuries significantly impacted the Giants' offensive performance. They have struggled to find their rhythm this season, with only one good half of football in their first four games.

Despite the Giants' offensive struggles, their defense managed to contain the Seahawks for the most part. The only notable drive by the Seahawks came just before halftime, led by backup quarterback Drew Lock, who replaced Geno Smith after he suffered a knee injury. This drive resulted in a 51-yard pass to Noah Fant and showcased the Seahawks' ability to make big plays when needed.

Overall, the Seahawks' victory was a testament to their strong defensive performance and ability to capitalize on offensive opportunities. The Giants, on the other hand, will need to regroup and find ways to improve their offensive production in order to turn their season around.

Looking ahead, the Seahawks will have a bye week before facing the Cincinnati Bengals on October 15th. This break will provide them with an opportunity to rest and prepare for their upcoming game.
