Peyton Manning sat out. Russell Wilson played two series. Marshawn Lynch was a non-participant. The Legion of Boom secondary didn’t take part.

With both teams having only two weeks of training camp practices, Friday’s contest featured the sort of sloppy play that fans rarely see during the regular season.
