The Seahawks saw a comeback attempt fall short thanks to a blocked field goal, losing 29-20 to the Giants on Sunday. With their second straight loss, the Seahawks are now 3-2, but still sit in first place in the NFC West heading into Thursday night's game against the 49ers.
In addition to the final score, here are 12 numbers that helped tell the story of Sunday's loss to the Giants:
420 and 24
Yards and first downs gained by the Giants, both season highs for Seahawks opponents.
175
Rushing yards for the Giants, the second Seahawks opponent, along with the Patriots (185) to rush for 175 or more yards this season.
17
First downs gained by the Seahawks, a season low, which came a week after the Seahawks set a franchise record with 38 first downs against Detroit. Seattle's first offensive touchdown, a Geno Smith pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, came with 2:09 left in the game.
7
Rushing attempts by Seattle's running backs, including only five for starter Kenneth Walker III. As Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald put it, "We need to get the run game going, we need to get Ken the ball more."
7
Sacks recorded by the Giants rushing Geno Smith against Seattle's pass-heavy attack, the most sacks yielded by the Seahawks this season. Seven sacks is a career-high for Smith, and the most sacks taken by a Seahawks quarterback since Russell Wilson was sacked seven times by the Rams in 2017.
2
Fumbles lost by DK Metcalf in the past two games, his first lost fumbles since early in the 2022 season, indicating this is more likely a run of bad luck that a concerning trend.
102
Length of Rayshawn Jenkins' fumble return touchdown, the longest defensive touchdown in Seahawks history, surpassing Bobby Wagner's 98-yard interception return in 2018. It was also the second longest touchdown of any kind in team history behind Tyler Lockett's 105-yard kick return in 2015.
14
Tackles made by Jerome Baker in his return following a two-game absence.
284
Passing yards by Geno Smith, upping his league-leading total to 1,446 yards. Smith also leads the league in completions (143) and attempts (199) while completing 71.9 percent of his passes.
72
Rushing yards by Smith, a career high.
1
Sack made by Derick Hall, albeit an unusual one that involved Daniel Jones tripping on the Lumen Field turf, giving the second-year outside linebacker a team leading 5.0 sacks this season.
12
Defensive snaps played by rookie cornerback Nehemiah Pritchett in relief of an injured Riq Woolen. That was the most playing time the fifth-round pick has had in his young career, and he came through with a crucial third-down pass breakup to give the Seahawks the ball back with a chance to tie the game or take the lead.
