Quarterback Alex Smith suffered one of the most gruesome injuries you'll ever see on a football field back in 2018.

Fast forward to 2020 and Smith is back on the gridiron and leading the Washington Football Team in its bid for an NFC East title.

With his back against the wall on Monday, Smith engineered a late comeback to push Washington back into a tie atop the division. In the process, Washington ended the Pittsburgh Steelers' bid for an undefeated season.

The football world was quick to heap praise upon the veteran pivot, showing major appreciation for his resolve. Here's some of the best reaction.
