![]() Abraham Lucas has yet to allow a sack from right tackle, and Charles Cross has allowed just three. His success can be partially attributed to two rookie offensive linemen who have bolstered a pass protection that Seattle has historically struggled with. He is easily playing the best football of his career. He has shown a fearlessness to fit the football into tight windows and trust that his receivers can make the play. He’s incredibly accurate with the football, completing a NFL record of 77.5 percent of his passes through the first four games. He even won the NFC Offensive Player of the Week award, beating out players like Kyler Murray and Jalen Hurts. It still feels weird to say, but Smith is unironically playing exceptional football. Six other players caught a Smith pass in the game, but it was tight ends Will Dissly and Noah Fant who were the benefactors of the goal-line work, each hauling in a touchdown. His counterpart, Tyler Lockett, put up 91 yards of his own. And he was a bona fide superstar.ĭK Metcalf put up another big game, racking up 149 receiving yards over seven receptions. Rookie Ken Walker was supposed to present a threat to the starting role at tailback, but it is clearly Penny’s job to lose. He ran for 151 yards over 17 carries, scoring two touchdowns. ![]() Speaking of the rushing game, Rashaad Penny had one of the best games of his still-young career. Additionally, he added 49 yards and a score on the ground. He ended the night with 320 yards on 23 completions with two touchdowns. The most impressive part of the story is quarterback Geno Smith’s emergence as a potential top 10 quarterback in the league. ![]() The Seahawks’ offense showed up to play in Week 4, putting up 48 points to squeak by the Detroit Lions 48-45.
