Finding no issue with walking the tightrope between aggressiveness and caution, Geno Smith’s recipe for keeping the Seattle Seahawks on the doorstep of a 2-0 start involved an intriguing wrinkle: accurate, tight-window throws. Surgical throughout the pressure-packed afternoon, Smith, even amidst a quickly-approaching New England Patriots pass rush, set his feet to deliver a 24-yard strike to his quickly-rising second-year wideout in the middle of the field. The two-time Pro Bowler’s excellence helped shape a 23-20 overtime win on Sept. 15, 2024, with Smith — again proving himself as one of the NFL’s most clutch — going 33-for-44 with 327 yards, one touchdown, and a 103.1 quarterback rating.
