Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos face off in Week 6 Thursday Night Football
The Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos face off in a Week 6 Thursday Night Football matchup at Empower Field at Mile High. Both teams enter the game with 3-2 records, seeking to avoid a losing record.
Seattle, the defending Super Bowl champions, are coming off a narrow 32-29 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Quarterback Sam Darnold has struggled with ball security, recording five interceptions in three games. Despite recent struggles, the Seahawks boast a highly-ranked defense that leads the league in turnovers forced. Wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba remains a key offensive threat, leading the league in receiving yards.
Denver is coming off a 23-17 victory against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Broncos' offense has been inconsistent, ranking among the league's lower tiers in scoring and total yardage. Quarterback Bo Nix has faced scrutiny regarding his passing efficiency and reluctance to run. However, Denver's defense has been effective, forcing multiple turnovers in recent outings.
The matchup features a clash of top-tier defenses. To celebrate the historic divisional rivalry, both teams are expected to wear throwback uniforms. Injuries to key players, including Denver's Pat Surtain II and Talanoa Hufanga, may impact the defensive schemes.
