Seahawks' Trevone Boykin: Could lose out on backup job

Boykin went 13-of-21 for 166 yards and a touchdown Thursday against the Raiders in the preseason finale, but he threw two interceptions that might end up costing him the backup job.

Boykin entered camp as the favorite for the backup role, but Austin Davis outplayed him in the last three preseason games -- including Thursday, when the latter led a 75-yard game-winning touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter. Boykin, who rushed four times for 42 yards Thursday, is a dual-threat quarterback who can dazzle at times, but Davis is the steady veteran who usually won't make risky throws. The team's decision could come down to how it views the backup role.
