Broncos’ Bo Nix stresses ball security vs. Seahawks’ ‘Dark Side’ defense

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix emphasized the importance of ball security and avoiding "hero ball" ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Nix stressed taking care of the football against a Seattle defense that leads the league in total defense, passing defense, and takeaways. Both Denver and Seattle enter the game with matching 3-2 records.

The Seahawks are also seeking to eliminate costly mistakes following a 32-29 defeat to the San Francisco 49ers, a contest where Seattle committed four turnovers. Meanwhile, Denver enters after a 23-17 road victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, rallying in the fourth quarter behind a touchdown pass from Nix to Courtland Sutton.
