The Seattle Seahawks defeated the Denver Broncos 26-20, handing the Broncos their first loss of the season. Despite a strong defensive performance early, the Broncos' offense struggled, managing only one touchdown and failing to convert on key opportunities.
Quarterback Bo Nix had an uneven debut, showing flashes but ultimately succumbing to pressure. The Broncos' running game was ineffective, leading to frustration as the team couldn't capitalize on early momentum.
Defensive lapses allowed the Seahawks to exploit weaknesses in the Broncos' secondary and rushing defense, leading to a second-half collapse. Head coach Sean Payton faces challenges in adapting his offense going forward, especially after losing key players to injury.
