SEATTLE, Wash. - Trailing the Green Bay Packers by 10 points inside six minutes to play, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Howell took the shotgun snap on 2nd and 16 and wasted little time unloading the ball once he reached the end of his three-step drop, believing tight end Noah Fant would come open down the seam.

Until there becomes more clarity on Geno Smith and the injury suffered to his knee, the chances of the Seahawks making the playoffs may end up resting on Sam Howell.
