Geno Smith dazzles in brief appearance in preseason finale, Seahawks beat Browns 37-33

Associated Press  

SEATTLE — Geno Smith’s brief preseason cameo only added to the anticipation of what he might be able to do in Seattle’s offense when the games start counting. Smith dazzled in his only series of the preseason, throwing a 21-yard touchdown pass to DK Metcalf to help the Seahawks beat the Cleveland Browns 37-33 on Saturday night. Smith had watched from the sideline for Seattle’s first two preseason games but finally got a little on-field taste of the offense under new coordinator Ryan Grubb. “Very confident in the amount of work that he’s gotten to date throughout the spring and summer and he’ll be ready to roll Week 1.” Five starters on Cleveland’s defense — Shelby Harris, Za’Darius Smith, Devin Bush, Grant Delpit and Juan Thornhill — saw a little bit of action in the first quarter before giving way to reserves.
