Meanwhile, the game between Seattle and the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday wasn’t particularly close, with the Seahawks losing 27-7. QB Geno Smith had a game to remember, but not in the way you’d like to be remembered: in addition to not producing a touchdown, he threw an interception with just 197 passing yards. Smith ended up with a passer rating of 128.50.
With both teams each stumbling on defeat, both will be hungry for victory. Come back to see which team is able to fight their way up the win column.
