The 2024 season has been an impressive one for Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith, and that continued in Sunday's 34-14 win over the Falcons.
Smith, who leads the NFL in passing yards, completions and attempts, didn't throw as frequently as he has in recent weeks thanks to the Seahawks' ability to build an early lead, but he was still a huge factor in the game.
Smith completed 18 of 28 attempt for 207 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions and a season-best 110.3 passer rating, and was often at his best when facing pressure.
According to NFL Next Gen Stats, Smith was pressured on 50 percent of his drop backs against Atlanta, the highest pressure rate he has faced in a game, but that pressure didn't faze him. When facing pressure, Smith completed 7 of 13 attempts for 123 yards and both touchdowns, good for a 125.9 rating.
"I thought Geno played a great game," Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said after the game. "He was poised and delivered the ball on time. On the extended play stuff, the scramble to find Noah (Fant) when we were trying to respond there, and it was a heck of a play. The couple of touchdown passes were great throws as well."
