From stymieing the 49ers and Cardinals to baiting Aaron Rodgers, Macdonald is doing exactly what the Seahawks hoped when they hired him.

The Seahawks also allowed Kene Nwangwu, a Jets practice-squad player, to return one of Jason Myers’ kickoffs’ 99 yards through three whiffed tackle attempts for New York’s second touchdown of the first half. That was just before Shenault lost the ball on a kickoff return to hand the Jets a third touchdown.

The first place Seattle Seahawks are looking to defend their perch atop the NFC West this weekend against the Arizona Cardinals. However, the team was without head coach Mike Macdonald for Monday's practice to kick off a crucial week of preparation.
