SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - SEPTEMBER 12: Geno Smith #7 of the Seattle Seahawks passes under presser from D.J. Jones #97 of the Denver Broncos at Lumen Field on September 12, 2022 in Seattle, Washington. After being written off for months following the trade of Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos, therose to the occasion to defeat their former quarterback and spoil his Denver debut in his return to the Pacific Northwest on Monday night.
The Seahawks have said repeatedly they believe this team can do some big things. There are 16 more games to go and one victory alone won't change the narrative about the post-Wilson Seahawks. But Monday night's victory showed Seattle may not be as feeble as anticipated. "Geno played tonight like he's been playing the whole time we've been practicing," Carroll said. "That's what he's been looking like. He didn't look any different than what he looks like in practice. And so that's why we had the belief in him and that's why he was able to win the job and go out there on Monday Night Football and win a football game."
Smith finished the game completing 23-of-28 passes for 195 yards and two touchdowns with a passer rating of 119.5, which ranks as the fifth best rating of his career. For better or worse, Wilson runs an offense that hasn't changed much through the years. Despite three different offensive coordinators, Seattle always defaulted back to the things Wilson did well. Smith has a different toolbox of things he does well that allowed the offensive scheme to seem more layered and dynamic.
Diggs stripped Melvin Gordon as he tried to reach the ball across the goal line on fourth down. Nwosu dislodged the ball from Javonte Williams on a third down carry on the next Denver possession.
