NFL: Seahawks defense handles Giants with 24-3 win

NEWARK, N.J. — Defensive back Devon Whitterspoon played the best game of his young NFL career to help the Seattle Seahawks defeat the New York Giants 24-3 on Monday night.

In the second quarter, the Seahawks (3-1) were afraid. They lost the services of Geno Smith, who appeared to hurt his knee after a tackle. But Smith returned to his position to start the third quarter.

The veteran was relatively efficient in this game, completing 13 of 20 passes for 110 yards. He threw a touchdown pass to DK Metcalf to give his team the lead in the first quarter.

In New York’s camp, things are far from improving for the offensive unit led by Daniel Jones and Brian Daboll.

Jamal Adams is unlucky

Returning to the game after an absence of 385 days, Seahawks safety Jamal Adams did not get the desired return. After just nine defensive plays, he was forced to leave the game due to a concussion.

The Giants were once again without the services of star linebacker Saquon Barkley, who is dealing with an ankle injury.
