And in his first game since sharing that, Smith showed off his speed to be one of the team’s few first-half standouts on offense. After hitting DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett for back-to-back first downs, Smith looked to pass again, but seeing a big hole up the middle, he tucked the ball away and ran. With 25 yards to go, he used a subtle juke to freeze safety P.J. Locke before sprinting to the end zone for the Seahawks’ first touchdown of the season.

With that 34-yard touchdown run, Smith became the oldest player since 2000 to throw a touchdown of 30 yards or more, according to NFL research, surpassing the all-time great running backs Adrian Peterson and Emmitt Smith.

Smith’s run may have been his biggest play of the game, but he also did a lot of damage with his arm, particularly in the second half when pass protection held up better. Smith threw an interception on his first attempt of the game, the result of a hit as he was releasing the ball, and was under significant pressure for much of the first half. Once the offense settled down and the run game got going, Smith had much more success, finishing 18 for 25 for 171 yards, including a 30-yard touchdown pass to Zach Charbonnet.

4. Year 10 Tyler Lockett is very similar to the previous versions of Tyler Lockett.

Tyler Lockett missed a significant portion of training camp practice and did not play in the preseason due to a thigh injury. He was listed as questionable on the injury report on Friday.

But if there was any rust on Lockett, it wasn’t on display on Sunday. Lockett, who is starting his 10^and season with the Seahawks, did what he always did and found ways to get open, resulting in six catches for a team-leading 77 yards, including a fantastic third-down catch late in the fourth quarter that put the Seahawks in the game.

With Sunday’s performance, Lockett surpassed the 8,000-yard mark in his career, becoming the second Seahawk, along with Steve Largent, and the 113^and players in NFL history with over 8,000 receiving yards.
