Seahawks Triumph in Preseason Thriller: Seattle Edges Browns 37-33 with Late Defensive Stand
The Seattle Seahawks secured a 37-33 victory over the Cleveland Browns in an electrifying preseason finale on August 25, 2024, at Lumen Field. The game was a back-and-forth affair, with both teams showcasing their offensive prowess in a contest that remained undecided until the final minutes. Seattle’s win was highlighted by key performances from their emerging stars and a critical defensive stand in the closing moments.
Seattle’s offense was led by running back George Holani, who continued to make a strong case for a regular-season role with two impressive touchdown runs. Quarterback Geno Smith also had a solid outing, connecting with wide receiver DK Metcalf on a highlight-reel 21-yard touchdown pass that energized the home crowd. The Seahawks’ ability to execute in the red zone proved to be a deciding factor in the game.
The Browns, determined to match Seattle’s intensity, saw strong performances from their quarterback rotation. Both starters and backups moved the ball effectively, with explosive plays that kept the game within reach. A 56-yard touchdown run by Kenny McIntosh showcased the Browns’ depth in the backfield, and their passing attack consistently found gaps in the Seahawks’ secondary.
As the game wore on, Seattle’s defense, which had struggled to contain Cleveland’s big plays, tightened up when it mattered most. In the final minutes, the Seahawks forced a crucial turnover, halting the Browns’ last drive and securing the victory. This defensive resilience, combined with their offensive efficiency, provided Seattle with a strong finish to the preseason.
The Seahawks’ victory not only highlighted their readiness for the regular season but also raised expectations for several players vying for final roster spots. Meanwhile, the Browns, despite the loss, demonstrated their depth and potential, leaving them optimistic as they prepare for Week 1. Both teams will now shift their focus to final roster cuts and the upcoming regular season.
