Milroe took off around right end on an option keeper in the fourth quarter, zooming past Raiders like no Seahawks QB has in a minute, maybe
ever. That gained 26 yards. He had three carries for 38 yards, plus the 11 that didn’t count. More encouraging for coaches: He completed 5 of his first 6 passes, for 47 yards. But he missed tight end Marshall Lang throwing while rolling out of fourth and 1 near midfield leading 23-20 with 4 minutes left. Milroe said he had the option to run there, and that he wanted to see the game film of the play to determine if he should have. “Of course an incompletion we have to look: How can we be better on that play,” he said. “But the best thing for me... Coach trusted me on fourth down to make a play. So, I just give thanks to Coach Kubiak, Coach Macdonald, because they kept the offense on the field and allowed us the opportunity to advance downs.”

Sam Darnold and AJ Barner said the same thing about Elijah Arroyo, praising the rookie TE for how well he knows the playbook. “You can already tell he studied a ton in the summer,” Darnold said. Arroyo is first up in the video followed by Brady Russell and UDFA Marshall Lang.
