Plenty of fresh faces on both sidelines when Denver and Seattle meet at Lumen Field Sunday afternoon.
Denver rookie Bo Nix will start for the Broncos as Sean Payton looks to build a more efficient offense for his 2nd season in Denver. Last season the Broncos averaged just 21pts/game.
Seattle has the same starting quarterback they did a year ago, but an entirely new coaching staff led by former Ravens’ Defensive Coordinator and first-time NFL Head Coach Mike Macdonald. Goal #1 will be to correct Seattle’s defense that conceded nearly 24pts/game last season to rank near the bottom of the NFL.
Denver finished 2023 with a record of 8-9 while the Seahawks ended last year with a record of 9-8. Both teams missed the playoffs in 2023.
