The Seahawks won a meaningless game on Thursday, but a Seattle win is great under any conditions. A lot of key Seattle players did not play as there was no reason to risk them being injured. We did learn a few things about other players, though.
One of those things was that quarterback Paxton Lynch looked better than anyone expected he would. But Lynch needs to show even more to be Russell Wilson’s backup this year.
Against his former team, the Broncos, Lynch was clearly motivated. Probably both by the desire to make the Seahawks but also to show the team that released him that he was given more chances.
