Geno Smith

Brock Purdy threw a pair of touchdown passes to George Kittle, and the 49ers won their first NFC West title since 2019, beating the Seattle Seahawks 21-13 on Thursday night.

Coming off perhaps his worst performance of the season, Geno Smith decided he’s been a little too greedy of late.

Sauce Gardner has been a big reason for the New York Jets’ surprising 6-3 start and the cornerback is not alone in rookies making an immediate impact.

The past two weeks showed the Seattle Seahawks what they are capable of accomplishing. Seattle’s 37-23 win over the LA Chargers was the victory that validated the Seahawks are on the right path.

Considering where the rest of the teams stand in the NFC West five games into the season, Seattle coach Pete Carroll sounded almost appreciative that no one has run away with the division.

What a difference six days can make after beating former Seahawks QB Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos, Seattle's offense falls flat, and were dominated by the S.F. 49ers in a 27-7 loss.

Brandon McManus missed a 64-yard field goal attempt with 20 seconds left and the Seahawks escaped with another wild victory involving Wilson at quarterback.

The last time Geno Smith started at quarterback on the opening of the NFL season as eight years ago. That will change on Monday night when Smith starts for the Seattle Seahawks in their highly anticipated matchup with Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos.

QB Russell Wilson makes his return to Seattle following a decade as the Seahawks starting quarterback and his offseason trade to the Broncos.
