With the score tied at 13-13, Geno Smith delivered when the Seahawks needed him most, and it’s his first game-winning drive in a Seattle uniform
Seattle was just 3/13 on 3rd down in this one, so they solved that problem by never touching 3rd down on the go-ahead drive. Smith went twice to DK Metcalf, twice to Lockett, and once to Marquise Goodwin . The ball was consistently out of Smith’s hands quickly so that the Giants pass rush would never factor, and it was a thing of beauty to watch.
For Smith, it’s the most significant drive of his Seahawks career. Seattle would’ve lost the NFC West lead had they lost this game, and obviously a tiebreaker against the Giants could loom large. On a day when the passing offense had sputtered at times and hurt itself with brutal drops, everything clicked for Geno and company at the most opportune time.
I’d argue that Smith’s been more clutch in critical situations than you may think this year. Go back to thewin and note that the Seahawks responded to every score by the Detroit Lions in the 2nd half with a score of their own up until they ran the clock out. Geno might not have thrown a touchdown during that stretch but he audibled into Rashaad Penny’s 3rd and 16 touchdown run and hit key passes to Tyler Lockett on two other scoring drives.
I still don't know how the hell Geno Smith put the zip and accuracy on the ball he did on this completion to Dee Eskridge with two untouched blitzers converging on him off a play fake.
