Denver Broncos vs. Seattle Seahawks: Week One Preview
By Tylor Walden
The Denver Broncos kick off the 2018 season with an old foe. We preview the Week One matchup with the former AFC West rival Seattle Seahawks.
We are finally here Broncos Country! Denver Broncos football is back. After another long offseason, the boys in orange and blue return. And they are sporting a much better look, especially at the quarterback position.
Case Keenum will be making his debut for the Broncos as the team faces off against the Seattle Seahawks. These two teams have not faced off in quite some time, but the last two meetings bring about a nightmare and heartbreak.
I will not get into the nightmare, but the Broncos last faced Seattle in week three of the 2014 season. A big time comeback from Peyton Manning and company took the Super Bowl rematch to overtime. But Marshawn Lynch would make it short lived with his touchdown rush a little under six minutes into overtime.
Both teams have changed in a big way since that meeting. The Legion of Boom is almost gone. Peyton Manning is no longer here. Seattle missed the playoffs last year for the first time since the 2011-12 season. Denver is looking to get back since their win in Super Bowl 50.
A game that has a lot of implications early on, it will be important for the Denver Broncos to set the tone early to get that first win of the season.
We are here to prepare you for the first game of the 2018 season. Let us dive right into the matchup between the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks.
