The Seattle Seahawks didn’t have a perfect day, and neither did their opponent, the New York Jets. But in the end, Geno Smith’s homecoming in New York was a triumph for the Seahawks, as they gutted out a 26-21 win over a Jets team that has gotten use to losing.

Both teams had big plays. For starters, we finally saw the Aaron Rodgers-Davante Adams connection that was promised after the Jets traded for Adams. On the other side of the ball, special teams players for the Seahawks were collectively out to lunch, fumbling three kickoffs and allowing the Jets to score on a 99-yard TD return. The Jets had 21 points by halftime.

But it seemed like the Seahawks might have a little magic in them today. Midway through the second quarter, with the Jets at the Seahawks’ 10-yard line, Rodgers threw an interception right to Seattle DE Leonard Williams. The big man ran it all the way back for a touchdown. 

After halftime, both teams had trouble scoring, but the Seahawks finally broke through with around five minutes left in the game. The offense drove them ahead 26-21, and in the final minute, the defense stopped the Jets on fourth down. The Jets didn’t score a single point after halftime.

Aaron Judge won his second career American League MVP award.

The New York Yankees star was voted the unanimous winner by the 30-person BBWAA voting body, his first time receiving every first-place vote.

The voting was also unanimous for second place, with Bobby Witt Jr. of the Kansas City Royals sweeping the second-place votes. Judge’s teammate Juan Soto, Gunnar Henderson of the Baltimore Orioles and José Ramírez of the Cleveland Guardians all received third-place votes.

Judge joins Mickey Mantle (1956) as the only Yankees players to win MVP unanimously.

It was an extraordinary season for Judge, who posted career highs in all three slash line numbers at .322/.458/.701 while clubbing 58 home runs, four short of his AL season record and what many consider to be the clean record.

Los Angeles Dodger Shohei Ohtani won the National League MVP award, garnering all 30 first-place votes for a unanimous decision.
