Geno Smith threw two interceptions and completed just 30 of 52 pass attempts. His frustration boiled over as he was looking at something on his tablet in the fourth quarter. At least, we assume this is what happened because the Prime Video broadcast showed him hitting his head with a Microsoft Surface in…
