Smith relies on the short stuff
It was a trademark game from Alex Smith, who completed 23 of 27 passes that traveled fewer than 10 yards in the air, while hitting his receivers just twice on 10 attempts that traveled 10 yards or more down the field. Smith gained 148 of his 178 passing yards on those short throws to go with an 89.
