Seahawks up 19-17 after Geno Smith’s second TD pass

R0rDdaKzBzTm
Mike Florio and Peter King take a rip through Week 5 in the NFL, weighing if Tom Brady's injuries could be a factor against the Falcons, their level of confidence in Teddy Bridgewater and more.

The Saints and Seahawks have wrapped up an entertaining first half in New Orleans.

Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith zipped a 35-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Tyler Lockett with seven seconds to play in the first half, but the Saints were only able to grab a 19-17 lead because Jason Myers missed the ensuing extra point.

The Seahawks had kicked a field goal to chip away at the Saints lead and they got the ball right back when Alvin Kamara lost a fumble after catching a pass from Andy Dalton. Cornerback Coby Bryant knocked the ball loose and rookie safety Tariq Woolen recovered it.

Smith had a 50-yard touchdown to DK Metcalf in the first half of the game. Smith is 8-of-13 for 166 yards overall in another strong performance for the reigning NFC offensive player of the week.

The Saints were down 10-3 after the first quarter, but two Taysom Hill touchdown runs put them up 17-10 before the Seahawks closed the half with nine straight points. Dalton is 9-of-13 for 89 yards and Kamara has 10 carries for 50 yards to go with that fumble.
