While the Detroit Lions and Buffalo Bills are having impressive runs this season, Geno Smith and the Seattle Seahawks are below everyone’s radar. In turn, the team’s star quarterback is drawing big praise from fans amid his big year in the NFL.
Just recently, Smith demonstrated his leadership by guiding Seattle to a 30-18 victory. He completed 24 of 30 passes for 233 yards and one touchdown, showcasing his efficiency and ability to move the chains. His performance was pivotal, especially on third downs, where he converted 7 of 15 attempts, helping the team maintain their position at the top of the NFC West.
While the QB played a significant role, the Seahawks’ rushing attack stole the spotlight, led by Zach Charbonnet‘s impressive performance. Charbonnet rushed for 134 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries, providing the team with a strong ground game that complemented the Seattle star’s passing. This balance allowed the team to control the tempo of the game and secure a vital win against a division rival.
Despite not being heavily relied upon in recent games, Smith’s consistent play has kept Seattle competitive. As the season progresses and the playoffs loom, his role may expand, particularly in upcoming games against high-powered offenses like the Green Bay Packers. The challenge will be to maintain his current level of efficiency while also stepping up when needed.
With Seattle sitting comfortably in the playoff picture, the quarterback’s ability to perform under pressure will be crucial. His connection with receivers like DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba will be integral as they look to capitalize on their current momentum and secure a favorable playoff position.

“That’s my QB geno smith,” jordsshot said.
“Not a lot of people talk about what Geno is doing but that’s impressive. As for Joe, he’s always him,” _coffeechaser posted.
“Seeing geno on here makes me smile #Gohawks,” jakeskiiiiiii shared.
“Look at Geno man,” jbernal71 remarked.
“Geno > Burrow,” luna.white76 claimed.
“Yes Geno will,” hts_109 reacted.
“Geno is gunna catch him,” bryton.bb noted.
Furthermore, Smith is on track to meet significant contract incentives that could impact his $38.5 million cap hit for 2025. Currently, he needs to average over 200 passing yards per game and secure ten wins to maximize his bonuses.
While he’s likely to achieve the yardage and wins incentives, surpassing his previous touchdown and passer rating numbers remains challenging. Ultimately, the QB’s performance in the coming weeks will be crucial for both his financial future and the Seahawks’ playoff aspirations.
