It’s been eight long years for Geno Smith since he started a Week 1 game. That was back in 2014 when he was still with the Jets. He likely never thought he’d ever start another one as the years went by. But here he is in 2022, starting a season-opener for the Seattle Seahawks and all he did was throw a touchdown pass on the opening drive against the Denver Broncos.
Smith took off scrambling on a 3rd and 3 and got the Broncos defense to commit to the threat of him running. That left tight end Will Dissly wide open for a 38-yard touchdown to put Seattle ahead early, 7-0.
What a START! @GenoSmith3 improvises to @Will_Diss. Place is electric!

Just a reminder too that the Jets will see Smith and the Seahawks on New Year’s Day in Seattle.
