Seattle ended the year on a winning streak, winning six of their last eight games after the bye week.
“I wanted to finish the season strong. I think I had a pretty good season,” Smith said on FOX after the win. “I wish we could have won one more game to get to the playoffs, but I'm proud of the way we played today. Some may say it was a meaningless game, but with integrity, we could have won this game. Every game means everything and every game matters.”
Smith's three-year, $75 million contract ends after the 2025 NFL season.
