The Seattle Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys closed out the 2022 preseason Friday in a 27-26 game that saw the Hawks third stringers squander a double digit third quarter lead to the Dallas third stringers. By the time fourth string Cowboys quarterback Ben DiNucci hit Peyton Hendershot with the go ahead score with just over four minutes left in the game, most Seahawks fans were less concerned with the outcome of the game and more concerned with the outcome of the quarterback competition.
Well, for those who had any doubts about whether or not there truly was any competition for who would start for the Seahawks in Week 1 against the Denver Broncos, Friday night demonstrated exactly why Geno Smith has been in the lead since the offseason program started in April.
