SEATTLE -- For the first time since before John Elway was a Denver Broncos quarterback, the Broncos defense had two safeties in a game.

With 11:22 remaining in the first half with the Seattle Seahawks in a first-and-10 at their own 1-yard line, Seahawks Anthony Bradford guard was flagged for a holding penalty in the end zone as Bradford tried to block Broncos' defensive end D.J. Jones.

The play gave the Broncos a 5-3 lead at the time.

Roughly seven minutes later -- with 4:24 left in the first half -- the Broncos got the second safety when Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet, on first-and-10 from the Seahawks' 1-yard line, was tackled in the end zone by Zach Allen and Jonathon Cooper.
