The Seattle Seahawks weren’t exactly firing on all cylinders on offense or special teams against the Denver Broncos, but the defense held firm and Seattle was able to post a 26-20 win in Mike Macdonald’s first NFL regular season game as head coach. While thoughts on Seattle’s playoff chances are mixed, at best, not much is expected out of the Broncos this year under rookie quarterback Bo Nix, so the Seahawks took care of business against one of the “easier” teams on the schedule.
Looking at some of the power rankings across national media outlets, many (but not all) are unmoved by this win.
