Starting off the night with an impressive touchdown drive led by Geno Smith, the Seahawks held on for a narrow win over the Browns courtesy of chunk plays.
Though it wasn't always pretty with the Cleveland Browns nearly hitting 400 yards of offense themselves, Geno Smith and thebusted out the explosive plays on offense and special teams to capture a 37-33 shootout win in their preseason finale at Lumen Field on Saturday night.
Aside from McIntosh's steady performance, undrafted rookie George Holani finished off his excellent preseason with another strong outing as well. Toting the rock seven times for 38 yards, the former Boise State star headlined Seattle's first touchdown drive of the second half, powering his way through several tackles and flashing underrated speed rumbling to an 18-yard gain before plunging into the end zone from a yard out.
Luckily, Seattle didn't allow the penalty by Nwosu to end up hurting them, as defensive tackle Jarran Reed penetrated into the backfield to swarm Winston for a third down sack three plays later, forcing a punt. But while Macdonald had to be pleased with the defense's resiliency, the success of that drive came at a cost with Nwosu suffering a knee injury on an illegal chop block by guard Wyatt Teller just one play after his flagged hit on the quarterback.
