INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- The Seattle Seahawks were already eliminated from playoff contention heading into their season finale against the Los Angeles Rams, but with $6 million on the line, the game was far from meaningless for Geno Smith.
The veteran quarterback had three contract escalators worth $2 million apiece within reach, and he hit all three in Seattle's 30-25 win at So-Fi Stadium.
"I was just trying to win," Smith said.
By doing so, Smith hit one of his escalators that was tied to Seattle (10-7) either making the playoffs or winning 10 games.
