Seattle Seahawks Dud and Stud of Game 17 vs. LA Rams
Second Honorable Mention: Kenneth Walker
Another big game to close out a great rookie season. While Kenneth Walker didn’t get into the end zone, K-9 still ran for 114 yards and kept the offense moving.
Walker will close out his rookie season with over 1000 yards rushing and 9 touchdowns. He’ll likely finish third in Offensive Rookie of the Year voting. Walker might have taken the award if not for an early-December injury that took away his A-game for several weeks.
First Honorable Mention: Geno Smith
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith Smith had a rough time for most of the game against the Rams. But he came through big time on the last two drives.
His scramble to set up Myers miss would have been “Beastquakian” in 12’s memories had the field goal gone through.
In overtime, he brought them down the field and led them to the win. His leading receiver was probably Jalen Ramsey, but as Smith has all season, he came through at crunch time.
Stud of the Week: Detroit Lions
Many fans were caught up in the Detroit-Green Bay game being flexed and how it would hurt Seattle. With a Seahawks victory, the Lions would have nothing to play for, and maybe they wouldn’t give their all.
Then at cold Lambeau Field, they went out and dragged Aaron Rodgers out of the playoffs by his man bun. Now we as a nation won’t have to endure a week of stories about Roger’s composure and leadership or how San Francisco passed on him in the draft.
He can’t tell us how he manifested his victory against the negativity around him. That’s because the Seattle Seahawks are in, and “The Medicine Man” is going home.
