Geno Smith

Geno Smith completed 20-of-27 attempts for 223 yards and four touchdowns in the Seahawks’ Week 18 win against the Rams, adding two rushes for 14 yards.

It was Smith’s first NFL game with four touchdown passes. Geno was cooking in this one, especially in the second half. He connected with Noah Fant, Jake Bobo, DK Metcalf, and AJ Barner for scores against a Rams defense resting most of its starters. Geno, 34, will end the season with 4,320 passing yards and 21 touchdowns, with a low 3.3 percent touchdown rate in what was a high-volume pass offense for most of the regular season. Though Smith is signed through the 2025 season, it would be a surprise if he doesn’t seem serious competition of the Seattle starting gig this offseason. That won’t come from Sam Howell, who proved this season that he is among the worst quarterbacks in organized football. The Seahawks have seemed to peak in the Geno era, leaving the franchise likely looking elsewhere for a QB who offers championship upside.
