HALFTIME thoughts: Smith has not had much time to throw today. The Giants like to blitz, and they’re getting home. Seahawks offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb might want to consider using some more Kenneth Walker III in the second half to force New York to respect the run. Seattle attempted 14 passes, and Walker has only two carries for two yards so far.

After a Lockett catch, Myers hits a 43-yard field goal with two seconds to go for 10-10 tie. Seahawks go 3 plays, 45 yards in 20 seconds.

Jones runs like a running back for a tough 8-yard gain, then throws like one. Giants to attempt a field goal. 34-yarder by Greg Joseph is good. 10-7 Giants with 22 ticks left in the half. That was a drive of 12 plays, 58 yards covering 5:12.

Derick Hall brings down Jones on third-down scramble, but Seahawks Tre Brown called for holding. First down Giants, 3:09 to go in half.

Smith sacked on third down. If you’re a Michael Dickson fan, this is your day.

Seahawks OC Ryan Grubb borrows from the Giants playbook, calls a pass play to RB Kenneth Walker III to convert a third down.

It’s a new record! Jenkins return, after review, is 102 yards instead of 101.

That’s a dime from Daniel Jones to Wan’Dale Robinson, and a 7-yard TD. PAT good, and we’re tied at 7, 9:09 Q2.

Giants safety blitz pays off as Smith has to throw it away on third down. Dickson with a 55-yard punt and a nice play by Tre Brown for a two-yard loss on the return.

Seattle defense playing with more discipline on the Giants’ second drive, forces a three-and-out. Seahawks will have the ball at their own 22 to start the second quarter.

That’s a 101-yard return for Jenkins. Myers PAT good. 7-0 Seahawks with 2:14 to go Q1.

Call stands, TD Seahawks

Giants go 16 plays but fumble inside the 1. Seahawks safety Rayshawn Jenkins picks it up and returns it from one end zone to the other for a TD. It’s being reviewed.

Seahawks are getting caught out of gaps, and the Giants are moving…

You know those swing passes on third and long that never work? That one worked for the Giants. They pick up third-and-17.

Daniel Jones, trips, fumbles. Derick Hall was in the area and gets credit for a forced fumble.

Nice pbu by Cor’Dale Flott on a pass to Metcalf. Smith finds Charbonnet on third and long, but he can’t quite get to the marker. Dickson time.

Can DK Metcalf hall in two touchdowns today? If so, he’ll pass Hall of Famer Steve Largent for the most in franchise history through a player’s first six seasons with 47. He’s already first in yardage through six seasons with 5,698.

Stay tuned for more updates.
