With running backs dropping like flies and a defense still struggling to slow down an opponent, Geno Smith rose to the occasion to lead a game-winning drive late in the fourth quarter in a 27-23 Seattle Seahawks victory over the Los Angeles Rams. FOX13
Smith threw for a career-high 367 yards with three touchdowns and an interception in a critical victory for the Seahawks on Sunday afternoon. Smith piloted Seattle on a 10-play, 75-yard touchdown drive with 2:56 left to play in the game capped by an 8-yard touchdown pass to DK Metcalf while he was draped by star cornerback Jalen Ramsey.
For the first time this season, the Seahawks managed to win a game where they allowed over 150 yards rushing to an opponent. Facing a backup quarterback in John Wolford, a team on its 12th different offensive line combination, and a team without Cooper Kupp or Allen Robinson at receiver can make that type of outcome a possibility.
Smith completed 28-of-39 passes for 367 yards in the winning effort on Sunday. The lone interception came on a questionable ruling as third-string running back Tony Jones Jr. was ruled to have not fully possessed a pass before it was ripped from his grasp by Wagner. "I thought that the coaches on the defensive side did probably as much adjusting in this game as we've done and did some great stuff to make this game plan come together after the first couple times they had the football and really, really pulled it together in great fashion. And the guys played like crazy," Carroll said.
Travis Homer was not active for the game due to an illness that limited Seattle's options to just Walker, Dallas and Jones. Walker was officially ruled out due to his injury while Dallas was listed as doubtful to return."He jammed his ankle and he just couldn't get back out there and get going again. He showed that he was ready to go and all but he just couldn't get back so we'll have to see what that means," Carroll said.
Unsurprisingly, Seattle didn't get much out of their rushing attack for the day. The Seahawks were held to just 87 yards on 20 carries from their running backs. It's the third straight game – and fourth game out of five – that the Seahawks have been held to under 90 yards rushing as a team.
