But, it’s not just Wilson who is being surpassed. Geno Smith currently has fifteen touchdown passes. This means that on a list consisting of Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Justin Herbert, Russell Wilson, Kyler Murray and Jalen Hurts, Smith would come out on top with regard to the number of touchdown passes made this far in the season.

On the other hand, Wilson‘s former team look like playoff contenders with their replacement quarterback in whom not many had faith. Geno Smith is having a staggering season. Smith is ranked fourth on ESPN’s QBR rating. He is behind Tua Tagovailoa, Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. Russell Wilson is all the way down at twenty-eight.

Things are definitely looking good for the Seahawks. They will take on the Tampa Bay Buccanneers next in Germany. The team will aim to keep their spot atop their division as they take on Tom Brady and the Bucs.
