Mountaineers in the NFL: Week 5
In week six of the NFL, Geno Smith came in for an injured Russell Wilson with 14:42 to play and trailing 16-7. Smith drove the Seahawks offense 98 yards on 10 plays to get within six, but the Rams quickly answered. However, Smith and the Seahawks fell shorts after Tyler Lockett tripped on a crossing route as Smith was releasing the ball and was intercepted at the Seahawk 35, ending any hopes of a comeback win.
Wendell Smallwood signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad and Rasul Douglas was picked up off the Arizona Cardinals practice squad by the Green Bay Packers. He's on the active roster but did not see any action this weekend.
David Long hit a game-high 12 tackles, including 10 solos in the win over the Jaguars, pushing his total tackles to a team-leading 29 tackles on the year.
