GENOMANIA.
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith had a career day against the Los Angeles Rams, eventually throwing the game-winning touchdown with 36 seconds left to secure a 27-23 victory.
With the win, the Seahawks move to 7-5 and are firmly in the NFC’s playoff picture. Meanwhile, the Rams fall to 3-9 and are in the midst of a nasty Super Bowl hangover.
Offensive spotlight: Smith continued his breakout season against the Rams, finishing with a 90.4 grade on first review. If that holds, it will be his fourth 90.0-plus game grade of the season. In his first nine years, he only had one such game. Against Los Angeles, Smith tied a career-high with five big-time throws.

Defensive spotlight: Smith wasn’t the only one who had a career day. Rams edge defender Michael Hoecht has an 89.5 grade on first review, the highest single-game grade of his career by over 15 points. The third-year undrafted free agent recorded five pressures — and a couple of sacks — for a 15.6% pressure rate.
Rookie spotlight: Seahawks cornerback Tariq Woolen has looked like one of the biggest steals in the draft all season. The fifth-rounder from UTSA allowed only one catch on three targets and also caught a pass of his own, snagging his sixth interception of the season. That’s tied with C.J. Gardner-Johnson for the most in the league.
Offensive line spotlight: The Rams offensive line did an excellent job of keeping backup quarterback John Wolford clean. They allowed only three pressures on 36 pass-blocking snaps. Center Brian Allen and tackles Rob Havenstein and Ty Nsekhe all kept a clean sheet on the day.
