Congrats to QB Alex Smith on his first win since suffering his devastating leg injury two years ago, proving dreams (with a lot of hard work behind them) really do come true. #Project11

Not many people thought that he’d ever be able to play football again, let alone start a game. However, Washington quarterback Alex Smith won his first game on Sunday since almost losing his career to a leg injury that was suffered just over two years ago.
The win came against the Cincinnati Bengals, 20-9, and Smith played decently in the game, finishing 17-for-25 for 166 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT. Ironically, the game saw one of the starting QBs, Bengals Joe Burrow, going down with a leg injury and likely seeing his rookie season come to an end.
Regardless of the outcome, it’s incredibly to see Smith doing what he’s doing once again in the NFL. There is no greater storyline this season.
