— Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith limped off the field and missed two series late in the first half Monday night after a questionable tackle near the sideline by New York Giants linebacker Isaiah Simmons.
Smith injured his knee on the play. He remained in the game for one more play before getting attended to in the medical tent.
«A dirty play. Dirty play,» Smith told ESPN’s Lisa Salters after he returned for the second half of Seattle’s 24-3 victory. «You guys can see it. It was a dirty play. It’s no place in this sport for that and hopefully something happens, but other than that, the grace of God allowed me to come back into this game and I’m happy to be back out there.»
Smith made his displeasure known immediately. He later got flagged for taunting when he returned to the game in the third quarter.
He was still upset after the game despite the Seahawks (3-1) cruising into the bye week coming off a win. Smith finished 13-of-20 passing for 110 yards and a touchdown.
«I just don’t respect that type of stuff,» Smith said.
