Bad day from Geno Smith, shaky run defense doom Seahawks

Associated Press  

SEATTLE — For most of this season, the Seattle Seahawks have not faced a day where Geno Smith was unable to make up for whatever issues were on the other side of the ball. And coupled with Seattle’s inability to slow the Panthers’ run game, the Seahawks were left trying to explain a third defeat in their past four games. Smith was off target more than any other point this season and Seattle’s defense couldn’t stop from being run over by the Panthers run game. “It’s frustrating as hell, across the board, top down,” Seattle safety Ryan Neal said of the defensive issues. “The biggest thing is that you can’t let this game linger in your head,” Seattle wide receiver Tyler Lockett said.
