Seattle’s loss to the Rams in Week 11 — its second loss to Los Angeles this season — might influence the Seahawks’ playoff probabilities. However, Seattle’s most urgent subject revolves across the well being of its beginning quarterback.
Geno Smith left Sunday’s 17-16 loss to the Rams after taking an enormous hit from Aaron Donald within the third quarter. His alternative, Drew Lock, went 2-for-6 passing for 3 yards and threw an interception that led to a Rams TD in a sport Seattle as soon as led 16-7.
After two poor Lock-led drives, Smith returned for Seattle’s remaining drive. He started it by connecting with Tyler Lockett for a 13-yard achieve and later hit DK Metcalf for 21 yards to get into field-goal vary. But Jason Myers, who had made three subject targets within the sport, missed from 55 yards with seconds left and the Seahawks fell to 6-4.
Seattle has a brutal upcoming schedule — towards NFC powers San Francisco (7-3), Dallas (7-3), San Francisco and Philadelphia (8-1) — and might’t afford for its beginning QB to overlook time.
On Monday, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll gave a promising update on Smith.
