SEATTLE, WA – Earlier today, Quarterback Geno Smith led the Seattle Seahawks to a come from behind victory over the Arizona Cardinals, 21-20. With less than two minutes left, Smith found Receiver Tyler Lockett in the end zone for the game-winning two-point conversion.
Despite missing the NFL Playoffs, the Seahawks finished 9-8, and Smith set an impressive NFL single-season record.
According to Brian Nemhauser of Hawk Blogger, Smith completed his fifth game-winning drive of the season, putting him atop the NFL’s record books.

Smith finished the season connecting on 65% of his passes for 3,624 yards and 20 touchdowns to 9 interceptions. Coupling that with his newfound place among the best performances in NFL history, it’s not too shabby for a guy that was once written off.
Best bet he hasn’t written back, either.
