Jets lead Seahawks 21-16 at halftime

There was a little bit of everything in the first half of Sunday’s game between the Jets and Seahawks at MetLife Stadium.

Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers hit wide receiver Davante Adams for a touchdown for the 80th time in his career, Kene Nwangwu returned a kickoff 99 yards for a score in his first game with the Jets, Seahawks defender Leonard Williams returned an interception 92 Yards for a touchdown, the Seahawks lost two fumbles on kickoff returns and both teams blocked extra points. All in all, the Jets have a 21-16 lead.

Rodgers’ touchdown to Adams opened the scoring and the Jets extended their lead to 14-0 with a Rodgers flip to rookie running back Isaiah Davis. They led 21-7 after Nwangwu’s score and looked for more points after Laviska Shenault lost a fumble on the ensuing kickoff, but Williams knocked down a tip pass and scored for the first time in his NFL career.

Nwangwu also forced Dee Williams’ fumble on a kickoff in the first quarter, making it a memorable debut for the former Vikings running back.

Rodgers is 10 of 21 for 91 yards and Geno Smith is 9 of 16 for 87 yards and a touchdown in his return to the first NFL stadium he called home. The Seahawks will get the ball in Jersey to start the second half.
