Seahawks...13 Jets...3
SEATTLE — Maurice Morris sliced through the snow for a season-high 116 yards and John Carlson scored the only touchdown on a short pass from backup Seneca Wallace as the lowly Seattle Seahawks ended the New York Jets’ stay atop the AFC East with a 13-3 upset.
Mike Holmgren, Brett Favre’s confidant and former coach in Green Bay, went out a winner in his final home game as Seattle’s leader -- largely because Favre fell short when the Jets (9-6) needed him most.
New York must now beat AFC East co-leader Miami at home next week, and pray. Either New England or Baltimore, also 10-5, must lose for the Jets to get in the playoffs.
Holmgren, who’s taking a sabbatical from football in 2009, took a victory lap after the second win in eight games for Seattle (4-11). He and Favre also embraced on the field.
Quoteworthy: “We are well aware of what opportunities have been there for us. That’s what’s disappointing.” -- Brett Favre, Jets quarterback
