Denver Broncos defeat Seattle Seahawks 17-14 in overtime

The Denver Broncos defeated the Seattle Seahawks 17-14 in overtime during a Thursday Night Football matchup. The victory brings Denver to a 4-2 record, while the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks fall to 3-3.

Despite a struggling offense that managed only 168 total yards, the Broncos' defense dominated the game, recording five sacks and 17 hits on Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold. The game was decided in overtime when Broncos cornerback Ja’Quan McMillian intercepted a pass from Darnold, setting up Wil Lutz for a 53-yard game-winning field goal.

The Seahawks mounted a late fourth-quarter comeback, scoring 11 unanswered points to tie the game at 14-14 following a touchdown by George Holani and a two-point conversion. However, Sam Darnold’s second interception of the night in overtime ultimately sealed the loss for Seattle.

Following the game, Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald expressed continued confidence in Darnold despite his league-leading seven interceptions this season, citing the need to address offensive line protection. Meanwhile, the Broncos' coaching staff has seen shifts in play-calling duties, with Sean Payton reclaiming more control over the offense.
