Grinding Out the Result
The Broncos leaned on the run game and a stout defensive effort to defeat the Seahawks 17-14 in overtime. Two rushing touchdowns and five sacks helped Denver build a 14-3 halftime lead. The team produced a 16-play scoring drive and a nine-play 79-yard touchdown march in the first half. After that, the offense managed no further points while the defense held firm.
Balance and Physicality
With 26 runs compared to 27 pass attempts, Denver emphasized the ground attack throughout the contest. The approach limited risk for the quarterback and produced enough production to survive an 11-point fourth-quarter rally by Seattle. The Broncos finished with 184 yards allowed through three quarters before closing out the overtime win.
Defensive Standouts and Trends
Denver recorded five sacks for the second straight game and added an overtime interception. The defense succeeded despite missing key secondary players. On the other side, Seattle's offense managed limited yardage and turned the ball over three times.
