SEATTLE — Geno Smith dazzled in his only series of the preseason, throwing a 21-yard touchdown pass to DK Metcalf, and the Seattle Seahawks beat the Cleveland Browns 37-33. Both teams played starters sparingly and some like Cleveland quarterback Deshaun Watson were spectators all night leaving backups to play the bulk of the preseason finale for both teams. Smith had watched from the sideline for Seattle's first two preseason games but finally got a little on-field taste of the offense under new coordinator Ryan Grubb. Watson was among a significant number of Browns starters who watched the preseason finale from the sideline. Joel Bitonio, Amani Cooper, Jerry Jeudy, Myles Garrett, Denzel Ward and Greg Newsome II were among the starters who watched.
