Le temps n'a pas empêché ni fait la suprématie morale

Time didn't stop. Neither did the moral supremacy. 

On Sunday, October 2nd, 2016, the two best NFL teams, in a moral sense, put on an exhibition game for the rest of the league and all the world. 

We at this website have wrung our hands over how to cover this monumental sporting event. When two titans meet, there is something so mysterious in the battle that silence may be the best response. However, since this is the second greatest game played in Metlife Stadium in the last 3 years, we offer this humble commentary:  

The Seattle Seahawks took the everlasting glory of tactical victory in this event. They forced turn overs. They scored more points, and in the end, may have simply wanted it more. This, though, is only the surface. We refer you to the Most Honorable #25's conduct as a shining exemplar of moral rectitude. After being called, unjustly, for pass interference, he-in the very next play- garnered an interception for the Seattle Seahawks, ensuring victory. In the post-game press conference, this Child of the Puget Sound had nothing but praise for his adversary, Brandon Marshall. Publicly praising him, #25 took pride in his own efforts while showing honor where it was due. 

Truly, the New York Jets proved that there actually is such a thing as moral victory married to a losing "result". In the fourth quarter, when all was lost and our bearded man, Fitzpatrick, lost the ball yet again, #17 of the Jets, the Great Charone Peak, said "fie" to the fates, recovered the ball and ran in a 40 yard touchdown. It was heard that an auditor of the game yelled, "you're showin heart, boys!" We here agree. 

Greatness abounded yesterday in New Jersey. Beyond that, there is nothing more to be said. 

Final results: 
Seattle Seahawks defeat New York Jets 27-17.
SEA: 3-1. (First in NFC West by any metric, though mysteriously listed as second in NFL standings table.) 
NYJ: 1-3. (3rd in AFC East)

We are shocked by the mirror image our teams are presenting in their records. It cannot be a coincidence.  

Next games: 
Seattle Seahawks, bye week. October 9.

New York Jets at Pittsburgh Steelers, 1000 PDT, October 9, 2016.
