The Seattle Seahawks did not win in Week 5. This was, for the most part, not Geno Smith’s fault.
Sure, Smith took an awful sack on his last play of the game, losing 14 yards on third-and-2 before Seattle punted the ball back to the New Orleans Saints finish a 39-32 game. The bigger story, however, was the journeyman quarterback’s effort to erase a 12-point fourth quarter deficit — and prove that his breakout season is sustainable, even on the eve of his 32nd birthday.
