SEATTLE — If this is Brett Favre’s kind of weather, then the magic is gone for the veteran quarterback. And so could be the Jets’ playoff chances.
Seattle’s Maurice Morris sliced through the snow like a sled for a season-high 116 yards and John Carlson scored the only touchdown on a short pass from backup Seneca Wallace as the lowly Seahawks ended the Jets’ stay atop the AFC East with a 13-3 upset Sunday.
Mike Holmgren, Favre’s confidant and former coach in Green Bay, went out a winner in his final home game as the leader in Seattle – largely because Favre came up short when the Jets (9-6) needed him most.
The Jets must now beat AFC East co-leading Miami (10-5) at home next week, and pray.
Either New England or Baltimore, also 10-5, must lose for the Jets to get in the playoffs. The Patriots are at Buffalo next week and the Ravens, aiming for the conference’s last wild-card spot, host Jacksonville (5-10).
