NFL Preseason Week 2 Kicks Off with Titans and Seahawks Victories
Seattle, WA – The NFL preseason reached another milestone on Friday night with two games in action. The Tennessee Titans faced off against the Atlanta Falcons, walking away with a close 23-20 victory. Meanwhile, the Seattle Seahawks put on an impressive display, dominating the Kansas City Chiefs with a score of 33-16.
In the first matchup, Titans quarterback Cam Ward struggled, completing only two of his seven attempts, totaling 42 passing yards. Despite his performance, the Titans managed to secure the win, showcasing their ability to overcome obstacles.
The second game highlighted the Seahawks and their revamped offense. Seattle took charge early and maintained their dominance throughout, marking their first win of the preseason. The game highlighted some stellar performances from the Seahawks’ offense, particularly from their new players. As the game progressed, the Seahawks showed a level of coordination that could spell trouble for future opponents in the highly competitive NFC West.
With just under a minute remaining in the fourth quarter, the score stood at 33-16. Notably, former Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe made a brief appearance for the Chiefs, sparking discussions about the competition for the third-string quarterback role behind Patrick Mahomes and Gardner Minshew.
Excitement surrounded Skyy Moore, who made his mark by returning a punt 88 yards, reminding fans of his potential as a valuable asset on the field. However, the Chiefs also faced challenges, with injuries plaguing their secondary, particularly cornerback Nazeeh Johnson, who left the game with a shoulder injury.
As the Seahawks’ quarterback Jalen Milroe gained confidence running the offense, he delivered some impressive plays to keep the drive alive. The Seahawks’ rookie running back Damien Martinez, previously a standout at Oregon State, also made waves by scoring his first NFL touchdown, finishing the night with 11 carries for 51 yards.
The weekend is set to be action-packed with additional games scheduled for tomorrow as teams continue to shape their rosters ahead of the regular season. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see how these preseason performances will translate once the games count.
