He was mostly ineffective on the ground, but Seattle couldn’t slow him down in the pass game. Kamara had 21 touches on New Orleans’ 39 offensive plays in the first half.
Seattle’s Jason Myers missed a pair of field goal attempts from 44 and 53 yards - the second into the open end of the stadium after Smith took another costly sack. “We’ve got to really fix our mistakes, play smarter, make less penalties.” “We got to get right,” Seattle linebacker Bobby Wagner said. Kamara then sprinted past a blitz for 12 yards on third-and-10 and the Saints were in field-goal range.Īl Woods jumped offside as Johnson lined up for a 43-yard attempt, allowing New Orleans to burn another 90 seconds off the clock before Johnson made the shorter try. Seattle appeared to get a stop, but Marquise Blair was called for roughing the passer on a third-down sack after hitting Winston with the crown of his helmet. He also made enough plays - thanks to Seattle penalties - to get the Saints in range for the winning field goal. Winston was 19 of 35 for 222 yards and added 43 yards rushing. It was his fifth career regular-season game with double-digit receptions. Kamara finished with 10 catches for 128 yards and a 13-yard TD reception late in the first half. “I’ve been here a long time and if we didn’t have Russell, I probably wouldn’t have been here a long time because of all the magic he has created over the years,” coach Pete Carroll said. Although both defeats with Smith under center have been by three points, the Seahawks aren’t the same without Wilson, who’s out until at least mid-November. Seattle has lost three straight for the first time since 2011 and fell to 0-3 at home for the first time since 1992. Smith went 12 of 22 for 167 yards - half coming on the TD toss to Metcalf - and was sacked five times as Davis, Cameron Jordan and others made his night uncomfortable. On fourth-and-28, Smith was pressured again and his throw to Metcalf fell incomplete. Smith was sacked on consecutive plays by Malcolm Jenkins and Demario Davis.
The backup hit DK Metcalf for an 84-yard touchdown in the first quarter but went nowhere when the Seahawks had a final chance to tie or win. Geno Smith made his second start at QB for Seattle (2-5) since Wilson suffered a serious finger injury in a loss to the Rams. “So just stick with my plan that I had coming into it and really focusing on just hitting my ball and hitting good contact that will cut through the wind.” “It was tough trying to see what the wind was doing because it was changing constantly throughout pregame and the game itself,” Johnson said.
Johnson, a rookie from Virginia Tech, made an extra point and both field-goal tries, connecting from 21 yards in the first half. Both penalties gave New Orleans first downs, and Johnson’s field goal coming out of the 2-minute warning put the Saints ahead. Two of the Seahawks’ biggest mistakes came on New Orleans’ deciding drive when Seattle was flagged for roughing the passer and jumping offside on a long field-goal attempt.
