Smith led the Seahawks on a nine-play, 71-yard drive that ended with an eight-yard touchdown run by Zach Charbonnet. Seattle was able to get new sets of downs thanks to two Jets penalties on fourth down. They ended up burning them for it.

Rodgers was 21 of 39 with 185 yards and two touchdown passes. Davante Adams and Isaiah Davis each had touchdown catches.
