Geno Smith Leads Seahawks to 2-0 Start with Overtime Win Against Patriots

Despite offensive inconsistencies and a struggling defense, Smith's stellar performance lifts Seattle to victory.

Geno Smith threw for 327 yards and a touchdown, completing 33 of 44 passes in the Seahawks' 23-20 win over the Patriots.
The Seahawks' run game was ineffective, with backup Zach Charbonnet managing just 38 yards on 14 carries in Kenneth Walker III's absence.
DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba combined for 22 catches and 246 receiving yards, marking the first time in franchise history two receivers had 10+ catches and 100+ yards in the same game.
Seattle's defense struggled against the run, allowing 177 rushing yards and 5.5 yards per carry to New England's Antonio Gibson and Rhamondre Stevenson.
Despite the win, questions remain about the Seahawks' offensive identity and defensive capabilities as they prepare for tougher opponents in the coming weeks.
