Seahawks and Broncos Dealing with Top Defenses and Shaky QB Play as They Kick Off Week 6
Sean Payton retook play-calling after Denver entered the week 26th in scoring and 30th in yards per game, while Seattle seeks a rare road win.
- On Thursday night, the Denver Broncos host the Seattle Seahawks at Empower Field in Week 6, with head coach Sean Payton reclaiming play-calling duties after offensive struggles. Both teams enter with 3-2 records, seeking to avoid a third loss.
- Offensive coordinator Davis Webb struggled to move the ball, prompting Payton to reclaim play-calling responsibilities last week. Denver now ranks 26th in scoring and 30th in total yards, while quarterback Bo Nix averages less than 200 yards passing per game.
- Ranked first in the NFL, Seattle's defense holds opponents to 150.8 passing yards per game and leads in takeaways. Quarterback Sam Darnold threw two interceptions against San Francisco last Sunday, pushing his total to five over three games.
- Seattle wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba leads the NFL with 583 receiving yards and seven touchdown catches. The Seahawks offense faces challenges after losing running back Kenneth Walker III to the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency.
- Denver's defense will be missing secondary players Pat Surtain and Talanoa Hufanga, the team's two best defensive backs. Analysts remain divided on the matchup, with predictions ranging from a Seahawks victory to a narrow Broncos win.
