Geno Smith had those money moves in him on Sunday. The Seahawks quarterback cashed in on the $6 million incentives in his contract during his team’s 30-25 win over the Rams in the final week of the regular season.

And as NFL Next Gen stats illustrates, Smith performance on Sunday also stood out because of how well he played when under pressure. Against the Rams, Smith had a season-best 46.2 percent drop back success rate when under pressure, and he had more passing yards under pressure (120) than without pressure (103).
