That was Carroll's second season in Seattle and the season before Wilson was drafted. Monday night's loss dropped the Seahawks to 2-5, marking their first time since 2011 that they've been three games under. "And so we've got to really put that in our mindset just, like, 'Hey, man, we've got to be closers and finishers.' And that's something we can really work on."
"Those are crucial moments and we had chances to really ice the game," Smith said. Smith went 0-for-2 and was sacked twice, allowing New Orleans to take over on downs and kneel out the clock. They trailed by three points Monday night when they took over with 1:56 left. That set up Pittsburgh for a chip-shot field goal to win it. The Seahawks needed any kind of score to win in sudden death when they got the ball back midway through overtime against the Steelers, only to turn it over deep in their territory when Smith lost a fumble while scrambling on the first play. Los Angeles iced it with a field goal three plays later. In all three games, the Seahawks had a chance to tie or take the lead in the final three minutes of regulation or in overtime.Īfter taking over with 2:09 left in a 23-17 game against the Rams, Smith was intercepted on their first play when his intended target, Tyler Lockett, fell down. I know what he's capable of doing, but I also know that Geno is capable of executing and I have faith in him."īut so far, Smith and the offense haven't executed at the end. "Whenever we give him the ball back with some time left on the clock, you know something is going to happen. "He's a special guy," said linebacker Bobby Wagner (who entered the NFL with Wilson in 2012) after Seattle's 13-10 loss to New Orleans. Three straight losses have served as the wrong kind of reminder that over the past 10 seasons, arguably no quarterback has been as good as Wilson with the game on the line.
That was the story for the Seattle Seahawks when backup quarterback Geno Smith took over late against the Los Angeles Rams after Wilson injured a finger in their Week 5 game and again in both of Smith's starts since - last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Monday night against the New Orleans Saints. SEATTLE - No Russell Wilson, no late-game magic.
