The first came on a picturesque 39-yard throw to Terry Wright in the opening quarter. The second came on a came on an 11-yard toss to Jacob Hollister. Two touchdowns for the Seahawks on Thursday, each of which came by way of backup quarterback Geno Smith.
Yes, the Seahawks were up against the JV version of the Raiders, which brought just 46 players to CenturyLink Field. And yes, coach Pete Carroll’s mind may have made his mind up about the No. 2 QB before kickoff.
But through those first two quarters, Smith may have spawned some reassurance among Seahawks fans that if anything were ever to happen to Russell Wilson, that maybe — just maybe — the Seahawks won’t be completely lost.
