Player of the game

Seahawks WR Joe Jurevicius: With a team-high eight receptions, including two for TDs, he was Matt Hasselbeck's top target. His 137 receiving yards tied his career high.

Play of the game

Josh Brown's game-winning, 36-yard field goal with 2:49 remaining in overtime.

Turning point

Well, you could say each time Giants K Jay Feely missed a field goal, any of which would have won the game. But the real shift in momentum occurred on Michael Boulware's interception of an Eli Manning pass with 6:55 left in the third quarter. Boulware made the interception at the Seattle 4 and returned it to the 44. It blunted a promising Giants drive and ignited a momentum swing toward the Seahawks, who then drove 56 yards for a go-ahead touchdown, a 16-yard scoring strike from Hasselbeck to Jurevicius.

Sunday's Seahawks Surprises

DT Rocky Bernard, who had one sack and now leads all NFL interior linemen with 8 ½ sacks.

WR D.J. Hackett, who continues to be a force. He had two catches for 47 yards, including a back-breaking, 38-yard reception in overtime that put the Seahawks close to field-goal range.

Speaker box

"I thought our crowd was tremendous. There were so many procedure and movement penalties, and I think that had a lot to do with how noisy it was. I think this is a difficult place to play for visitors, I really do."

— Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren
