For a second straight week in the preseason, the Seattle Seahawks have claimed an early lead thanks to a touchdown drive from quarterback Sam Howell.

The Seahawks started the first quarter a little slow, only gaining one total yard on their first two drives combined. For Seattle, the third time was the charm as they engineered an eight-play, 84-yard drive lasting 4:53. The drive was capped off by Howell, who found wide receiver Easop Winston Jr. for this beautiful 23-yard touchdown strike on first down.

Winston is one of the handful of players trying to crack his way into an incredibly crowded Seattle wide receiver room. Bouncing around from team to team for a few years now, mainly remaining on practice squads, the former WSU Cougar is looking to finally break into the league with the home-state Seahawks.

Seattle leads 6-0 over Tennessee with the entirety of the second quarter to pla at time of publication.
