Who's Playing

Denver @ Seattle

Last Season Records: Seattle 7-10; Denver 7-10

What to Know

The Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks will face off at 8:15 p.m. ET Sept. 12 at Lumen Field to kick off their 2022 seasons. Denver struggled last year, ending up 7-10. Likewise, last year was nothing to brag about for Seattle (7-10), either, so the team is looking forward to a new start.

A couple defensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: The Broncos were the best in rushing touchdowns allowed, finishing the 2021 season giving up only nine. Less enviably, Seattle ranked second worst with respect to passing yards allowed per game last season, where the squad gave up 280.4 on average. The good news for Seattle, of course, is that these forces working against them might not carry over into the new season.

Denver has the odds in their favor, so they'll need to guard against complacency. A victory is hardly a sure thing, especially this early in the season, so expect a good game.
