Unable to seize multiple opportunities provided to them by a stingy defense, Geno Smith and the Seattle Seahawks couldn't finish off drives, letting a potential road win slip from their grasps with a dismal red zone performance in a 17-13 road defeat.
only found the end zone once and managed to score just three points after halftime, falling just short in a 17-13 road loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
Moments after Brown picked off Joe Burrow early in the third quarter, a long third down completion from Smith to receiver Jake Bobo moved Seattle down to the Cincinnati five-yard line. But after an illegal block on Walker two plays later, Smith tried to squeeze the ball to Jaxon Smith-Njigba on a wheel route after motioning across the formation, only for cornerback Mike Hilton to pick off the pass near the goal line.
3. With the Bengals doing a solid job on DK Metcalf and Lockett most of the game, Jake Bobo steps up with a big second half to fill the void. 4. After a rough start, Seattle's defense tightened up with a dominant second half effort from all three levels. During crunch time in the fourth quarter, Seattle's defense continued to come through with clutch stops, limiting Cincinnati to three third down conversions on 11 attempts. On the first play of the final period, linebacker Jordyn Brooks blew up a 3rd and 1 run play with immediate penetration on a blitz and Reed stuffed Joe Mixon at the line of scrimmage for no gain, leading to another punt.
