Geno Smith’s vindication tour continued Sunday with a win over the New York Giants, one of his former teams. While Smith downplayed the history there, he also made it pretty clear that this one meant something to him.

Smith played for the Giants in 2017, when he was infamously handed a Week 13 start that broke Eli Manning’s streak of 210 consecutive starts. The move was hugely unpopular with Giants fans, and some even questioned whether it contributed to coach Ben McAdoo’s firing at the end of that season.

After Smith’s Seahawks beat the Giants 27-13, the quarterback dedicated the win to McAdoo and former GM Jerry Reese, noting that they were willing to give him a chance with New York.
