Welcome to 2023!
The Seattle Seahawks (7-8) and New York Jets (7-8) both had Decembers to forget, and as a result they are on the cusp of playoff elimination. To kick off the new year they will face off at Lumen Field in what is more or less a “loser is out” scenario.
Geno Smith has had a wonderful season but he and the offense have struggled in recent weeks. The offensive line has not performed well, injuries have impacted the wide receiver, tight end, and running back positions, and Smith’s stellar early-season start hasn’t sustained. And yet, against the team that drafted him, a great performance would go a long way towards realizing a playoff appearance.
For Robert Saleh’s Jets, they’ve ridden an elite defense to a better than expected season. What has severely damaged their playoff hopes is quarterback instability and ineptitude, particularly from the benched Zach Wilson and past his prime Joe Flacco. Mike White may not be a superstar in the making but he’s been the Jets’ best passer, and the Jets will look to him to save their season.
If the Seahawks win they could move back into a wild card spot if other results go their way. A loss could eliminate them depending on other results, whereas a loss definitely sends the Jets out of the playoffs.
