SEATTLE (DateLine) - In a thrilling game on Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks emerged victorious with a final score of 20-17 against the Tennessee Titans. Geno Smith showcased his prowess by throwing his second touchdown pass to Colby Parkinson with just 57 seconds remaining in the game, securing the win for the Seahawks.
Smith's game-changing touchdown pass not only led the Seahawks to victory but also breathed new life into their playoff aspirations. Currently holding the seventh and final playoff berth in the NFC, this win keeps Seattle's playoff hopes alive. However, they still have one more game to win and rely on some assistance to secure their spot in the postseason.
The Seahawks faced a tough challenge, falling behind early in the game. However, Smith made a significant impact when he connected with DK Metcalf for an 11-yard touchdown, swinging the momentum in favor of the Seahawks. With 12 minutes and 10 seconds left on the clock, the Seahawks took their first lead of the game, making the score 13-10.
Not to be outdone, Titans running back Derrick Henry responded with a 2-yard touchdown run, putting the Titans back on top 17-13. The Seahawks did not falter and mounted an impressive drive, going 75 yards over 14 plays. Smith orchestrated the offense flawlessly, culminating in the game-winning touchdown pass to Parkinson.
Defensively, the Seahawks also rose to the occasion when it mattered most. Seattle's Boye Mafe sacked Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill on Tennessee's last drive, effectively ending their hopes of a comeback. The clock ticked down to zero, leaving no time for another play.
The Titans, unfortunately, have had a challenging recent stretch, losing their last two games and subsequently being eliminated from playoff contention. This marks the second consecutive season in which they have lost at least 10 games, a feat they last experienced in 2014-15.
With their playoff hopes intact, the Seahawks look ahead to their final game, where they will need to secure a victory and count on other results to solidify their spot. The Titans, on the other hand, will now focus on regrouping and preparing for the offseason after a disappointing end to their season.
