Geno Smith Overcomes Turnovers to Keep Seahawks Undefeated

Another week and another stellar performance from Geno Smith. On Sunday, Smith kept the Seahawks undefeated as he threw for 289 yards while completing 76.5% of his passes.

Even though he did turn the ball over three times – two interceptions and a fumble – the Seahawks still coasted to a 24-3 win over the Miami Dolphins. He did throw a 71-yard touchdown pass to DK Metcalf for the highlight play of the game. Seattle is now 3-0 on the season.

Smith entered the week near the top of the NFL in completion percentage at 73.9%. In addition to being efficient, Smith has not totaled 787 yards through the air so far this season.

Smith is well aware of the importance of the 2024 season, both for his own personal career and also the future of the Seahawks as a franchise.

In an interview with the NFL Network’s Taylor Bisciotti, Smith talked about his role to help guide the Seahawks as the franchise embarks on a new era with a new head coach.

Even though Smith’s 2023 season was a drop in production and success from his remarkable comeback story of the year before, Smith still kept the Seahawks in playoff contention until the last week of the regular season.

In typical Geno Smith fashion, he kept his season in perspective after the season finale despite missing the playoffs.

“Circumstances shouldn’t dictate your mood or your effort. We fight no matter what,” Smith said after Seattle’s 21-20 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Smith was responding to a question about how he stayed motivated after learning his team no longer had a chance to return to the postseason.
