The Seattle Seahawks showcased a stellar defensive performance in their 24-3 victory over the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium on Monday night. Giants’ quarterback Daniel Jones struggled, turning the ball over three times and being sacked an astounding 10 times during the game.
Despite the defensive brilliance, the Seahawks faced a setback as safety Jamal Adams left the game early in the first quarter after a concussion evaluation. This game marked his return after suffering a torn left quad tendon in last season’s opening game.

On Monday night, the Seahawks turned back the clock with a dominant defensive performance reminiscent of their Super Bowl win. They achieved eleven sacks, forced three turnovers, and prevented the Giants from scoring a touchdown. Seattle’s cornerback, Devon Witherspoon, contributed significantly with a 97-yard pick-six in the third quarter.
Despite a lengthy list of injuries, the Seahawks currently hold a 3-1 record. They also avoided a serious injury concern when Geno Smith briefly left the game due to a knee injury.
