The Seattle Seahawks overcame a sluggish start to defeat the Denver Broncos 26-20 in their season opener. The hinge of victory was defense, which stifled rookie quarterback Bo Nix and kept the Broncos to just three points following turnovers.
After trailing 13-9 at halftime, the Seahawks made crucial adjustments, particularly focusing on running back Kenneth Walker III, who led the offense in the second half. Wide receiver Tyler Lockett's notable late-game reception sealed the win.
