Seahawks QB Geno Smith limps into Week 16 after a scary knee injury that many thought would end his 2024. However, Smith is back at practice and prepping for this aggressive pass rush. His lack of mobility will be exploited by the Vikings and Smith sees his passing metrics slide when under pressure, with a completion rate short of 57% and 11 of his total 13 interceptions coming while feeling the heat. Not helping things is a rash of ailments to the guys around Geno. Running backs Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet are questionable, top WR D.K. Metcalf is fighting through a shoulder injury, and safety blanket TE Noah Fant is limited by a knee injury. Seattle will lean into Mike Macdonald’s defense to keep it close on Sunday. The Seahawks struggled to grasp their new coach’s concepts early into the schedule but have been among the strongest stop units in the NFL since Week 9.
