Though his touchdown to interception ratio isn't good, Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith's numbers have been impacted by factors largely out of his control.

A look at what's led to an up-and-down first half for Seattle Seahawks QB Geno Smith and how he compares to the rest of the league.

The Seattle Seahawks suffered an incredibly demoralizing defeat at the hands of their division rivals, the Los Angeles Rams. Seattle fell 26-20 in overtime to fall into last place in the NFC West. The game was essentially a roller coaster.

With the Seahawks losing five of six, some fans have started clamoring for a quarterback change, ignoring the real reasons why the team has struggled.

Following a scoreless first quarter, Sean McVay’s Rams took a 3-0 lead near the conclusion of the second period. That’s when Smith caught absolute fire for the Seahawks. Smith completed 6-of-9 attempts for 125 yards and two touchdowns in the final 3:31 of the opening half, locating Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba for late touchdowns.

Losing his cool after a Bills defender hit him out of bounds, Geno Smith's wallet is now a bit lighter with the NFL fining him for post-play behavior.

Accountability is crucial in the National Football League. It’s a trait that’s essentially a prerequisite for quarterbacks to have in abundance. Such is the case for Seattle Seahawks starting quarterback Geno Smith, who had his worst performance as a starter in the Emerald City.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith threw for 363 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams, yet in his mind, it wasn't enough to make up for his mistakes, not even close.
