They trust more now than before Thursday night.
Russell Wilson did not play.
Lynch did. Better than Geno Smith.
The competition to be Wilson’s backup quarterback this Seahawks season tilted more toward Lynch Thursday night in the preseason opener against the Denver Broncos at CenturyLink Field.
With Wilson not playing in preseason game number one for the first time in his career. Smith started. The former New York Jets and Giants starter struggled, as he has for the last week of training camp. He was 3 for 9 passing with two sacks and a 56.7 passer rating in the first half.
Lynch, the former Broncos first-round pick who was far behind Smith a few days into camp, lit up his former team after entering to begin the third quarter. His two scores—a 6-yard pass to undrafted rookie Jazz Ferguson and a 9-yard scramble run on which Lynch spun off a hit and reached across the goal line—were the game’s first touchdowns in Seattle’s 22-14 victory.
