Seahawks' Geno Smith Rips Giants' Isaiah Simmons' 'Dirty Play' That Caused Injury

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith was unhappy with New York Giants linebacker Isaiah Simmons for a hit that briefly knocked him out of the game.

Speaking to ESPN's Lisa Salters after Seattle's 24-3 win (h/t Frank Schwab of Yahoo Sports), Smith called it a "dirty play" when Simmons dragged him down from behind on a scramble in the second quarter.

"I just don't respect that type of stuff," Smith added. "There's no need for that type of stuff. It's a hard fought game out there, we're all battling, but there's no need to take shots at guys running out of bounds on the sideline.
