SEATTLE (AP)– Drew Lock tossed a set of goals passes, consisting of a 19-yard strike to Jake Bobo late in the 3rd quarter, and the Seattle Seahawks beat the Minnesota Vikings, 24-13, on Thursday night in the preseason opener for both groups.
With beginning quarterback Geno Smith working as a viewer– in addition to the majority of the beginners for both groups– Lock revealed that the Seahawks need to feel comfy about their backup QB.
Lock finished 17 of 24 passes for 191 lawns. His one error was a tipped pass obstructed by Minnesota’s Jaylin Williams in the 3rd quarter. Lock tossed a 13-yard goal pass to Easop Winston Jr. in the very first half, and offered Seattle a 17-13 lead by striking Bobo in the last seconds of the 3rd quarter. Bobo severely beat Andrew Cubicle Jr. off the line of skirmish and took pass near the objective line.
Bobo has actually impressed throughout training school and might be the most recent undrafted novice pass receiver to make an area on Seattle’s lineup.
Third-string QB Holton Ahlers included a 30-yard TD pass to Matt Landers in the 4th quarter.
Nick Mullens played a strong very first half for the Vikings, strengthening his area as Kirk Cousins’ backup Mullens finished 14 of 20 passes for 139 lawns and a 4-yard goal toss to tight end Nick Muse, who made a excellent jumping catch over Seattle cornerback Tre Brown. Mullens led a set of scoring drives, and Greg Joseph struck basket of 26 and 54 lawns. Joseph was simply 4 of 10 on kicks from 50 or more lawns last season and is getting pressed with novice Jack Podlesny from Georgia in camp.
Just a handful of beginners bet either group.
Seattle played center Evan Brown and ideal guard Phil Haynes on offense, and linebacker Devin Bush, edge rush Boye Mafe and cornerback Michael Jackson on defense. All 5 ran out the video game well prior to halftime.
The Vikings offered nose deal with Khyiris Tonga and cornerback Akayleb Evans a long time on defense, while ideal guard Ed Ingram was the only offensive starter to get some reps.

NOVICE VIEW
Minnesota pass receiver Jordan Addison was among the gamers that flashed for the Vikings, despite the fact that he had just one catch. The first-round select of Southern California had a 22-yard reception for his only authorities grab, however it was a catch that didn’t count that took the highlights. Addison captured a pass along the sideline in the very first quarter that was ruled insufficient. However tv replays revealed Addison made an amazing grab and dragged his toes. The catch needs to have been ruled total, however the Vikings decided not to challenge.
Seattle first-rounder Jaxson Smith-Njigba had 3 receptions for 25 lawns in his preseason launching. While not noted as a starter, Smith-Njigba is anticipated to see considerable playing time as the No. 3 receiver in Seattle’s offense.

The Seahawks stated Johnson was debilitated on a backboard as a preventative measure and carried to Harborview Medical Center. The group stated he remained in steady condition.
