Mics picked up Geno Smith's hilariously relatable reaction to an unblocked Aaron Donald running at him

When asked which NFL quarterback they'd least like to see coming at them with an open path, Aaron Donald would likely be a popular choice.

You can't blame Geno Smith for his Sunday reaction. After living through that horror, he told the story. Thankfully, we heard everything live.

Smith had to swiftly release the ball on a third-down play against the Seahawks in Week 1 because Donald eluded pass protection and had an open road at him.

It was great hearing his reaction on the broadcast mics. Smith cried, “OH MY GOD!” as Donald charged him.

A quarterback never wants his pass protection to lose track of any defender, but especially Donald.
