Geno Smith Leads Seahawks to Comeback Win with Walk-off TD in OT
We now have our first sighting of Geno Smith sprinkling his magic for the Seahawks in 2023. After a rough outing to open the season last week, Smith led Seattle on a big comeback win over the Lions on Sunday.
The Seahawks won the game in overtime 37-31 despite trailing most of the game on the road. Seattle had to outscore Detroit 14-10 in the fourth quarter to get the game into overtime and then Smith’s touchdown pass to Tyler Lockett won the game in overtime.
