The Seattle Seahawks needed overtime to overcome what has been an impressive New England Patriots squad based on preseason expectations.
Patriots running backs Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson combined for 177 yards on the ground, but it wasn't enough to allay Geno Smith‘s big day. Smith found wide receivers D.K. Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba a combined 22 times for 246 yards and a touchdown in the Seahawks' 23-20 win in Week 2.
