Seahawks vs. Broncos Performance
The Seattle Seahawks' offense ranks 17th in total yards, averaging 328.0 yards per game, with 222.0 passing yards and 106.0 rushing yards. They are scoring 26.8 points per game, good for eighth in the league. Defensively, Seattle leads the NFL in yards allowed, giving up just 251.2 yards per game, including the league's best pass defense at 150.8 yards per game. Their run defense ranks 11th (100.4 yards per game), and they allow 21.0 points per game, eighth overall.
Conversely, the Denver Broncos' offense struggles, gaining only 269.0 yards per game, 23rd in the NFL. Their passing game averages 182.8 yards per game, and they are among the teams averaging fewer than 100 rushing yards per game. The Broncos are scoring 19.4 points per game, 23rd in the league. On defense, Denver is 20th in yards allowed (347.4 per game), with a pass defense that ranks in the top 10 (199.6 yards per game). However, their run defense is one of the worst in the league, allowing 145.2 yards per game, and they permit 22.2 points per game.
Quarterback Matchup
Seattle's Sam Darnold has had a notable career trajectory, being drafted third overall by the Jets before stints with the Panthers, 49ers, Vikings, and now Seahawks. After a strong performance last season, where he was in MVP conversations and led the Seahawks to the Super Bowl, Darnold has had a less impressive start this season. He has five interceptions through the early part of the season, putting him on pace to exceed his interception total from last year when he threw 14 interceptions and 25 touchdowns.
Denver drafted Bo Nix 12th overall three years ago. Following two solid, though similar, seasons, the Broncos are looking for Nix to step up with additional offensive weapons. In his past two seasons, Nix has thrown for 54 touchdowns and 23 interceptions. He needs to improve ball security and increase passing touchdown production. While he mixes in some success running the ball, averaging 1.9 yards per carry this season, it is not his primary offensive method.
In their matchup, Darnold has completed 63 of 98 passes for 755 yards, 7 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions. Nix has completed 97 of 162 passes for 942 yards, 6 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions.
