– Big day for Jimmy

After a quiet first two games of the season, Seahawks tight end Jimmy Graham is officially heating up. Last week against the San Francisco 49ers, Graham had a big game, as he totaled six receptions, 100 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown.

In Week 4 against the Jets, Graham picked up right where he left off in Week 3. On Sunday, Graham totaled six receptions and 113 receiving yards. Graham led all receivers in the game in receiving yards, as he was clearly the go-to guy for the Seahawks.

The Jets used multiple schemes to try and defend Graham, but he was able to find spaces in zone coverage and also win man-to-man matchups. The big game for Graham is the second straight week that the Jets have had issues to an opposing tight end.

While the offense has taken a lot of the blame in the last two weeks, the passing defense continues to be a problem. The Jets looked confused in a lot of their zone coverages, and that resulted in big plays for Graham and other receivers on the Seahawks.
