Alex Smith Enters His First Game Since 2018 After Kyle Allen Suffers an Injury

Alex Smith entered Sunday's game against the Rams after almost two years out of the league due to a devastating leg injury.  He was Kyle Allen’s backup coming into the game, but was forced into action after Allen took a big helmet-to-helmet hit.

Here's the hit on Allen:

What a fucking story.  By far the best thing that's taken place in 2020.

You knew Smith was going to get in at some point for the Washington Football Team, but I don't think anyone thought it would be in his first game as the backup.

I can't wait for the Disney movie.
