'Cigar Thoughts, Game 4: Seahawks beat Lions in wild game of flag football' JacsonBevens is back with an entertaining recap of the highest-scoring game in the NFL this year. The latest CigarThoughts are up!
It was as if a joy-bomb had detonated in that stadium, and the shockwaves of pure elation reverberated for hours afterward. It was an electric, visceral reminder of what Seattle sports can be, and how ready for greatness the fans here are. It hearkened back to theplayoff runs of 2012-2014, when on-field performance elevated the collective spirits of the entire region, and to fans of the team across the world.
If that turn of events was supposed to diminish Seattle’s enthusiasm, no one told Geno Smith. All he did is complete passes on the next three plays, hitting Lockett for 13 then DK Metcalf for 21 and 23 on consecutive throws. A roughing penalty and an eight-yard Penny run set Smith up to capitalize, and he did exactly that, keeping the ball after a quick drop back and darting up the middle for an untouched eight-yard touchdown. I wish they’d build the whole plane out of 1st quarter Geno Smith*.
Detroit got another first down on their next drive but any hopes of closing the gap was snuffed out by a ferocious sack from Nwosu, who continues to be their best defender this season. After the punt, Seattle had the ball on their own 22 but took no time in getting the ball out to midfield. They did it with another huge completion to Metcalf, who is starting to display the type of veteran awareness that lets good receivers transition to great ones.
The insanity got dialed up a couple notches on the next possession, as Seattle’s offense retook the field, looking for their first second-half touchdown of the year. Walker III was bottled up in the backfield on 1st down but Smith found Metcalf at the sticks on the next play. DK was ruled down just shy of the first but Walker converted with a powerful run up the middle. Dissly used a quick out to gain five on first down then Penny came in for a slippery 15-yard run.
The ball went back to the Lions and, before long, back to the end zone. Goff alternated completions to Reynolds and Hockenson, keeping a beleaguered Seattle defense on the field with his no-huddle cadence. In just over two minutes, Detroit found themselves inside the Seattle 5 and finished it off with yet another touchdown pass to Hockenson.
This afternoon saw the best performance of Smith’s career, as he tirelessly attacked a Lions defense, answering every single one of their scores with one of his own. On the day, he completed 23 of 30 passes for 320 yards and 2 TDs without turning it over. He also ran for 49 yards and another score while playing mistake-free football. His 77% completion rate matched his league-leading season pace and his 10.7 yards per attempt was elite.
Ken Walker III is finding his footing in the NFL, and the team is ever-so-slightly increasing increasing his snaps and carries with each passing week. He’s also showing himself to be a very capable receiver which is great, because that was the one knock on him coming out of college. He received eight carries and a caught a pass today, totaling 29 yards on the ground— though that doesn’t show the 23 yards he had called back on penalties.
~The offensive line struggled with penalties but were otherwise solid, as they helped pave the way for a preposterous 555 yards of total offense. Seattle ran for 235 yards on 33 carries while passing for 320 on 30 attempts. That’s 6.8 yards per carry and nearly 11 yards per pass. Most importantly, they kept Smith clean, allowing zero sacks on the day. Should be a great confidence-booster for a young O-line in need of some good tape to build off of.
