Geno Smith Sounds Off After Loss to Giants
The Seahawks are coming off a tough loss to a struggling New York Giants team. Seahawks' kicker Jason Myers had a chance to hit a chip shot field goal and send the game into overtime. However, the Giants had other plans and blocked the kick and returned it for a touchdown.
However, Seahawks Quarterback Geno Smith Believes that the key for Seattle is to buckle down before the game gets to crunch time.
"When the game is on the line, it seems like we find ways to get things done, right? But that's got to be the mentality throughout the entire game," Smith said. "We can't wait until the end of the game to try and save it. We got to go out and execute for 60 minutes or however long the game is. Today, we didn't get that done."
After that loss, the Seahawks have dropped two straight games after a 3-0 start to the year. Their schedule will get even tougher during their upcoming stretch. Three of their next four games are against teams who made the playoffs last season. They'll be looking to right the ship against the 49ers.
