Smith’s declaration comes at a crucial moment for the Seahawks, who have faced an up-and-down season. Despite some challenges, Smith is ready to take full responsibility for his role and lead the team toward success. His confidence and drive to silence the doubters have only fueled his determination to show the world that he is still capable of leading a team to victory.
The Road to Redemption
For Geno Smith, this season has been about redemption. After years of being written off, Smith is no longer the backup or the afterthought. He’s a starting quarterback with something to prove. His career has been marked by ups and downs, but Smith believes that the best is yet to come. “I’m not done,” Smith said. “People have counted me out before, and every time I’ve come back stronger. This is no different.”

His confidence, combined with the talent and experience he brings to the field, make it clear that Smith is prepared to take the Seahawks to the next level.
The Seahawks' Confidence in Smith
Smith’s leadership and poise have earned him the unwavering support of his teammates. Wide receiver DK Metcalf has repeatedly expressed his belief in Smith’s ability to lead the offense. “Geno’s our guy,” Metcalf said after a recent game. “He’s been through a lot, and he’s kept grinding. He has our trust.”
The Seahawks' offense has struggled at times this season, but Smith’s ability to rally the team and keep them focused on the goal is exactly what Seattle needs. His leadership has kept the offense moving forward, even when the road has been difficult.
A New Chapter for Geno Smith
For Geno Smith, this is more than just about proving others wrong — it’s about proving to himself that he can still compete at the highest level. “I know what I’m capable of,” he said. “I’ve always believed in myself. Now, it’s just about going out there and showing everyone what I can do. This is my time.”
With a renewed sense of purpose and a chip on his shoulder, Geno Smith is poised to make this season one to remember. He’s ready to show the doubters that his time in the NFL is far from over.
The Future of the Seahawks
As the Seahawks continue to push for a playoff spot, Geno Smith’s determination and leadership will be crucial. His ability to shake off criticism and focus on the bigger picture will be key in the team's success. If Smith continues to perform at a high level, the Seahawks will be a dangerous team to face in the coming weeks.
Travis Kelce Makes His Feelings Clear About Chiefs’ Struggles: ‘We’ve Got to Run the Table’
The Kansas City Chiefs are 5–5 through Week 11 — a place the reigning AFC powerhouse hasn’t been in years — but tight end Travis Kelce insists the 2025 squad is stronger than the one that went 15–2 last season.
During the November 19 episode of the “New Heights” podcast, the All-Pro tight end spoke candidly about the team’s struggles, the urgency of the weeks ahead, and why he still believes this Chiefs roster has what it takes to rally.
“It’s frustrating because it’s gotten to the point where we’re 5–5,” Kelce told his brother, Jason Kelce, around the 7:20 mark. “We’re .500 going into the back end of the schedule here. Got seven games left, and we’ve basically got to run the table. And I haven’t been in this situation in a long, long time.”
“A bunch of flags all over the place, whether it was, procedural penalties, which is the … most frustrating thing ever, or holding penalties, which some I’m here for,” Kelce said.
“Others, I’m just like, ‘What are we even doing?’ And obviously putting up touchdowns instead of field goals, man. “It’s frustrating because it’s got to the point where we’re 5-5, we’re 500 going into the back end of the schedule here. Got seven games left, and we’ve basically got to run the table. And I haven’t been in this situation in a long, long time, man.”
“And it’s even more frustrating knowing the kind of guys that we have, knowing the kind of talent that we have, knowing the type of coaches that we have, and everybody’s got to just kind of look themselves in the mirror,” he said. “You can’t sit around pointing fingers about whether it’s somebody missing a block here, somebody missing a catch here, play calls, whatever you go into mentally when you’re frustrated, you’ve got to kick that aside, and you’ve got to think about how you’re going to … attack the day.
Travis Kelce Says He’d Choose the 2025 Chiefs Over Last Year’s 15–2 Team
Jason Kelce then asked his brother the question fans have debated for weeks: in a head-to-head matchup, would the 2024 Chiefs beat the 2025 Chiefs?
“I’m taking this year’s,” Travis said without hesitation.
Kansas City began the season 0–2, rallied to 5–3, and now sits at 5–5 after consecutive losses. They trail the Denver Broncos (9–2) and Los Angeles Chargers (7–4) in the AFC West standings, officially placing the Chiefs outside the playoff picture heading into Week 12.
Kelce, however, delivered one of his strongest outings of the year in Sunday’s loss to Denver, recording nine catches for 91 yards and a touchdown — a score that secured him the franchise record for career receiving touchdowns, surpassing Priest Holmes. Still, Kelce declined to celebrate afterward.
“If you were going to ask me about the [franchise] record, I could care less about that right now,” he told reporters via ESPN.
Patrick Mahomes Praises Kelce, While Taylor Swift Misses the Milestone Night
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes, though, made it clear his teammate deserved recognition. “He deserves it, the work he puts in every day,” Mahomes said via KMBC. “He’s a leader, man… that was a great play in a big moment in the game.”
Notably absent from Kelce’s record-breaking evening was fiancée Taylor Swift, who has attended fewer games this season. Her last appearance came on Oct. 27 against the Washington Commanders, when Kelce scored his 100th career touchdown and celebrated by referencing Swift’s “Fate of Ophelia” dance.
The couple did enjoy downtime during Kansas City’s bye week, which they spent together in New York City. “Just hung out, put the feet up, saw some cool places, ate some great food,” Kelce shared on the Nov. 12 episode of “New Heights.” “Got to feel the big city and its electricity.”
Now at 5–5, Kansas City returns home for a Week 12 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. The Chiefs currently sit at the No. 9 seed in the AFC, behind the Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars. With seven games remaining, the team will need a strong rally to secure a playoff spot.
