Denver Broncos vs. Seattle Seahawks: Week 6 Preview

The Denver Broncos host the Seattle Seahawks at Empower Field at Mile High for a Week 6 Thursday night matchup between two 3-2 teams. Head coach Sean Payton's Broncos look to overcome a struggling offense that averages just 19.4 points per game. Meanwhile, head coach Mike Macdonald leads a Seahawks team driven by a high-scoring attack and an elite defense.

Denver faces defensive hurdles with cornerback Pat Surtain II and safety Talanoa Hufanga ruled out with injuries. They must contain Seattle receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba while navigating a Seahawks defense allowing an NFL-best 251.2 total net yards per game. To succeed, Denver aims to improve on third downs and exploit Seattle's bottom-tier red-zone defense.
