The Seattle Seahawks have waived wide receiver and weapon Laviska Shenault Jr., following their win over the Jets.

Several players have stepped up for the Seahawks in a three-game winning streak, but a pair of former Giants have emerged as stars in Mike Macdonald's defense.

The Seattle Seahawks took a bumpy path to sole possession of first place in the NFC West. Sunday’s 26-21 win over the Jets featured several special teams miscues, including a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by New York.

The road back to relevancy for former Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams has led him to the Motor City. On Sunday it was announced Adams was signing with the Detroit Lions practice squad, with the expectation of being elevated to the Lions' active 53-man roster.

Macdonald remains her biggest fan. During his introductory press conference with the Seahawks in February, "My wife Stephanie is an absolute rock star," Macdonald said. "You'll get to know her, and this city will fall in love with her."

The Seahawks continued their dedication to never play a normal game with an extra wild one against the Jets on Sunday. Here's what the national media said.

Thanksgiving-themed trolls were popular in Week 13 of the NFL season, but a non-holiday post leads the way. The New York Jets took a 21-7 lead over the Seattle Seahawks with 10:40 remaining in the second quarter. But the Jets never scored again as the Seahawks stormed back for a 26-21 victory.

Not only was it one of the most-incredible and improbable defensive plays in franchise history, it was part of a remarkable performance by Williams that hasn't been equalled in over 40 years.

The Seattle Seahawks (6-5) will try to extend their two-game winning streak when they face the New York Jets (3-8) on Sunday afternoon. Seattle picked up a crucial win over Arizona last week, moving into a tie with the Cardinals for first place in the NFC West.
