You can watch the replay of Geno Smith’s pick-6 by the Los Angeles Rams many times and still not figure out what Smith was looking at or who he might have been throwing to.
Smith has played well for most of his career with the Seattle Seahawks, but here and there he will make a mistake that leaves everyone baffled. One of those mistakes came at a bad time on Sunday.
Early in the fourth quarter, with the Seahawks tied with the Rams 13-13, Smith felt some pressure from the right and just completed a pass on a bowl to Rams safety Kamren Kinchens. A surprised Kinchens took it and ran 103 yards the other way for a touchdown and the Rams had the lead.
That’s just not a mistake a starting quarterback can make, and it was even worse in the fourth quarter of a tied game.
Smith has played well for the Seahawks and is having a solid season. But that was a play he wanted back.
