Seattle Seahawks cornerback Josh Jobe made the game-sealing play against New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, intercepting a pass in the end zone with a toe-tapping finish.
The play was featured as an NFL “Can’t-Miss Play,” highlighting Jobe’s ability to complete the catch near the boundary.
Jobe’s game-sealing interception
Jobe secured the interception in the end zone and used precise footwork to finish the play in bounds. The turnover ended New England’s opportunity and sealed Seattle’s win.
The play represented rare last-minute heroics from a Seattle cornerback. Jobe’s catch combined control, timing, and awareness along the end line.
Seahawks teammates, including safety Julian Love, celebrated with Jobe after the interception.
Seattle intercepted Maye three times
Jobe was one of three Seahawks defenders to intercept Maye.
Love intercepted a pass intended for Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas. Another turnover came after Devon Witherspoon hit Maye in the backfield, forcing an interception that Uchenna Nwosu returned 44 yards for a touchdown.
Jobe’s end-zone interception completed Seattle’s three-pick defensive performance.
Jobe’s all-around defensive performance
Jobe recorded seven total tackles, including one tackle for loss. His interception was the defining moment, but his production extended beyond the turnover.
The toe-tap finish required Jobe to maintain control while staying in bounds near the end-zone boundary. He completed both parts of the play.
How Seattle staged its comeback
Seattle trailed 10-0 before beginning its comeback. The Seahawks scored a field goal in the third quarter and tied the game when Drew Lock connected with Jaxon Smith-Njigba on a 45-yard pass on fourth-and-1.
That tying play came after an interception by Nehemiah Pritchett. Seattle’s takeaways and its fourth-down completion helped bring the game even.
Jobe’s interception provided the final defensive play of the comeback, preventing Maye and the Patriots from reclaiming the lead.
Why the play stood out
Jobe’s interception stood out for its combination of ball skills and footwork. He made the catch in the end zone and completed it close to the boundary, producing the turnover that sealed Seattle’s win.
With three interceptions of Maye, the Seahawks’ defense supplied the decisive moments. Jobe’s was the final pick and the one that ended the game.
