Seattle Seahawks smirk at projections, knock off New York Giants in 40-19 rout

Seattle Seahawks brought their A game, rolling to a 40-19 victory over New York Giants, who fell short of projections. New York Giants jumped out to a 12-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind a combined 10 points from Odell Beckham Jr. (49 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 35 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and the Buffalo Bills defense (21 Pts Allowed, 175 Yds Allowed, 1 Turnovers). But it was all Seattle Seahawks after that. They were led by Russell Wilson (185 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs, 14 Rush Yds) and the Seattle Seahawks defense (16 Pts Allowed, 452 Yds Allowed, 3 Turnovers). Seattle Seahawks (3-10) will look to notch another W against New Orleans Saints, while New York Giants (7-5-1) will face New England Patriots in an effort to get back in the win column.
