We’ve polled the voices of 710 ESPN Seattle to weigh in on the Seahawks’ 27-17 win over the Jets on Sunday. Here’s what they have to say:

Brock Huard of “Brock and Salk”

The Seahawks traded for Jimmy Graham because he was one of the biggest mismatch-makers in the NFL. Linebackers, safeties and corners are all vulnerable against Graham, and over the last two weeks we have seen that come to life in a Seahawk uniform. In doing so, a banged up Russell Wilson has even more options from the pocket, and the quick yet still downfield passing game has been the difference offensively as the Hawks of 2016 are mirroring the production of what they did last year during the second half of the season. And while the offense dictated terms for 45 minutes, it was the Hawks’ defense heating up the pocket in the second half and creating as many takeaways in the final 20 minutes of action as they had in the first 3 1/2 games combined. All good news as the 3-1 Hawks will have a much needed bye week to get a banged-up team healthy.

Bob Stelton of “Bob, Groz and Tom”

For all of the eye rolls that seem to follow a lot of the Russell Wilson hyperbole, he earned every shred of praise he receives after this game. High-ankle sprain and sprained MCL, wearing a big knee brace and he shreds the Jets defense for 309 yards and three touchdowns. An amazing performance! Oh yeah, Jimmy Graham is really good, too!

Mike Salk of “Brock and Salk”

The Seahawks are out of survival mode and back into the aggressive state in which this season began. They survived the worst of Russell Wilson’s injury (or injuries), not to mention life without Germain Ifedi, and now have two weeks to let all their aches and injuries heal. They went to New York and simply took care of business, refusing to let any of their injury issues become excuses. And when they needed healthy players to step up, they got huge days from stars Jimmy Graham and Richard Sherman. The Seahawks have now put their slow start behind them and are ready for the huge tests that will come in a very tough six-game stretch after the bye.

The Seahawks’ win over the Jets was not a surprise, but the way Darell Bevell has this offense firing on all cylinders is impressive. There was question about the health of Russell Wilson, the consistency of Christine Michael, and the increased role of Jimmy Graham. All three were answered, and now the Seahawks get a much-needed bye week.
