The Seattle Seahawks faced a tough start against the Denver Broncos in their season opener, with Geno Smith throwing an early interception and the offense struggling to gain momentum, finishing the first half with only nine points.

However, an effective halftime adjustment by offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb shifted the game in Seattle's favor, focusing on the run game. Ken Walker III emerged as a standout, leading the team to a dramatic comeback and a 26-20 victory, marking Mike Macdonald's first win as head coach.
