Seahawks win 23-20 in overtime over Patriots
Whew! It was always going to be tough, but the Seattle Seahawks (2-0) pulled off a thrilling 23-20 overtime road win over the New England Patriots (1-1).
No George Fant? No Kenneth Walker? There were some problems, but Geno Smith overcame them. Even with four drops from his receiving targets, Smith was 33/44 for 327 yards and a touchdown, and you can add another game-winning drive on his ledger after some magnificent quarterback play. DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba might have had some drops, but they both had over 10 catches and 100 yards on the day, while Zach Charbonnet scored a rushing TD and had a critical 3rd down conversion in overtime.
