Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith attempted to make a run with the ball on a third down and long in the final two minutes of the team’s game vs. the Lions on Sunday, but it ended in the worst scenario Seattle could’ve hoped for.
Instead of advancing the ball, Smith ended up losing 17 yards by being sacked. But, how did the quarterback lose that many yards from a sack?
Well, Smith started by avoiding a few Lions defenders to try to run forward. But, as more defenders kept coming his way, he tried to escape them by running backwards in hopes of going forward again. Unfortunately for Smith, he ended up being sacked right by the end zone to end the Seahawks’ play.
