DID YOU NOTICE?

Dwight Lowery hasn't gotten much attention -- at least not the good kind -- for the majority of his rookie season, and is often pointed to when discussions about the Jets' woes in pass defense are mentioned. However, Lowery delivered a pair of big plays Sunday. First, he poked the ball out of Seattle tight end Will Heller's arms and Darrelle Revis recovered the fumble. And on the Seahawks' next possession, Lowery was in on the collision that shook the ball loose from Leonard Weaver. The Jets recovered that fumble inside their own 5-yard line. ... The game ended poorly for Brett Favre, but he pulled a move on the Jets' first drive that is becoming a snow-game staple for him. He shoveled an impromptu pass on the run to Laveranues Coles for a 5-yard gain. In the Packers' playoff victory against the Seahawks last year in the Green Bay snow, Favre also threw a makeshift pass -- an underhanded toss -- on the run. ... The prerequisite mention of Favre's 41 fourth-quarter comebacks was immediately followed by the future Hall of Famer being thrown for a 6-yard loss by Darryl Tapp. ... Something for CBS and the other networks to consider: When the field is so snow-covered that you can't even see the numbers, it wouldn't be bad to figure out a way to keep the field position on the screen in some sort of prominent way.

THE NUMBER

163 total net yards for the Jets on their final 10 drives of the game. This, after covering 78 yards on their opening possession, which resulted in a field goal.
