Geno Smith in preseason game

Geno Smith showcased his potential in the Seattle Seahawks' final preseason game, completing 4 out of 5 passes for 62 yards and a touchdown to DK Metcalf, contributing to a 37-33 victory over the Cleveland Browns. Coach Mike Macdonald was impressed with Smith's decisiveness and execution during his brief stint on the field, where he effectively led a scoring drive. Seattle's offense, under new coordinator Ryan Grubb, averaged an impressive 9.1 yards per play in the first half, despite injuries to key players like linebacker Uchenna Nwosu. Other notable performances included Kenny McIntosh's 56-yard touchdown run and Dee Eskridge's 79-yard punt return for a touchdown. While Seattle's backups struggled offensively, Smith's performance has set a positive tone going into the regular season. The Seahawks will aim to build on this momentum as they prepare for their season opener against Denver on September 8.
