The Seattle Seahawks rallied in the second half to secure a 26-20 victory over the Denver Broncos in their season opener, marking a successful start for coach Mike Macdonald. After a shaky first half where Seattle struggled, Geno Smith rebounded effectively, connecting well with his receivers and contributing with a rushing touchdown.
Ken Walker III played a significant role on the ground, accumulating over 100 rushing yards and scoring a touchdown. The defense, spearheaded by Julian Love and Boye Mafe, made pivotal plays to thwart Denver's scoring opportunities.
Special teams had mixed results, with some hiccups by returner Dee Williams, but overall, the Seahawks' performances were encouraging as they begin the new season.
