Geno Smith had the Seahawks offense running like a fine tuned machine in Week 4. And the league recognized that by naming him as NFC Offensive Player of the Week.
faced off in a game that turned out to be one of the highest scoring games in league history, with Seattle leaving Ford Field on the highs of a 48-45 victory.
Some will downplay the scoring outburst by the Seattle offense, which put 41 points on the board, with rookie cornerback Tariq Woolen adding the final seven points on a pick-six of Lions quarterback Jared Goff on the opening play of the third quarter. However, that was just the opening salvo in a second half that would see the teams combine for 47 offensive points, with Seattle quarterback Geno Smith leading the offense of the Hawks to its first two second half touchdowns on the season.
Those second half touchdowns were far from all that Smith did on the day, finishing the game 23 of 30 for 320 yards with a pair of touchdown passes for a passer rating of 132.6 and a QBR of 91.3. In addition, he added seven rushing attempts for 49 yards and another touchdown with his legs. That was enough for Smith to earn recognition as the top offensive player in the NFC in Week 4.
