Despite having a steady squad, Seattle Seahawks have a poor record of 2-4. Wins against San Francisco 49ers and Indianapolis Colts in the season opener have been great. On the other hand, losses to Tennessee Titans, Minnesota Vikings, Los Angeles Rams and Pittsburgh Steelers has left a bad taste in the Seahawks’ mouth.

During the game against the Rams, Russell Wilson suffered a finger injury that has ruled him out for three games. Geno Smith stepped into his place, but his first game did not go as planned. While it wasn’t his fault, it looks like the Seahawks are looking to replace their quarterback for the third time this season.
