Broncos’ defense did everything possible to beat Seahawks; offense went three-and-out

The Denver Broncos’ defense carried them to a 17–14 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, delivering a relentless pass rush that dominated Sam Darnold and forced multiple turnovers. Ten different Broncos players recorded quarterback hits—a franchise-high since at least 2006—while early sacks stifled Seattle’s opening drive and set the tone.

The unit’s relentless pressure also led to a forced fumble late in the second quarter, though Denver’s offense struggled to capitalize, managing just one touchdown before a three-and-out stretch in the third quarter. Bo Nix and the Broncos’ offense, meanwhile, went three-and-out on three of their first four drives, failing to sustain momentum despite a strong second-quarter performance that included a 16-play, 74-yard drive culminating in J.K.

Dobbins’ touchdown run. The offense’s inability to build on early gains left the defense as the sole bright spot in a 4–2 start for Denver, where turnovers and clutch stops proved decisive.
