Rookie Devon Witherspoon scores on 97-yard pick-6 as Seahawks’ defense leads Seattle over Giants
Associated PressEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — With all the points the Seattle Seahawks were scoring this season, it was easy to overlook their defense. I can’t remember seeking double-digit sacks.” Geno Smith threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to DK Metcalf late in the first quarter after a strip-sack by defensive end Mario Edwards Jr. set up a short drive and Kenneth Walker III scored on a 1-yard run just before halftime as the Seahawks won their third straight. Besides the sacks, Seattle held New York, which played without star running back Saquon Barkley for the second straight game, to 248 yards, 6 of 16 on third down and forced three turnovers. That was my whole mindset.” The Giants’ offense has really struggled the past two games without Barkley and left tackle Andrew Thomas missing his third straight game with a hamstring injury. “So there’s a lot of things we’ve got to do better and that’s what we’re going to do.” STRANGE START Seattle’s first offensive play from scrimmage took about five minutes.
