Efforts from Geno Smith's camp to secure an extension this year did not produce a deal. After all, the Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks and their fanbase will have to do an about-face when it comes to their rooting tendencies this weekend. After defeating the Chicago Bears on Thursday night, the Seahawks kept their hopes of winning the NFC West and reaching the playoffs alive, but they'll need some help from an unlikely source.

Geno Smith has had quite the year for the Seattle Seahawks. He’s third in the league in passing yards per game, trailing only Joe Burrow and Jared Goff, and is one of just four starters in the NFL completing more than 70% of their passes, all while leading the Seahawks to a 5-1 record against NFC West competition to keep them in playoff contention.
