Week 1 subplot: Element of surprise for Broncos, Seahawks

In their final preseason tune-up, the Seahawks’ starting offense ran 35 snaps and used only two personnel groups: Three receivers/one running back/one tight end and two receivers/two tight ends/one running back.

Broncos inside linebacker Brandon Marshall noticed.

“They’ve saving it,” he said. “They’re going to come out with something we haven’t seen.”

A lot of somethings.

The challenge for players and coaches — and the beauty for fans — about every Week 1 game is the unknown. The Seahawks and Broncos staffs have been plotting for Sunday since the schedule came out in late April.
