Broncos will see a lot of Paxton Lynch

Ah, yes. The former Denver Broncos quarterback who was unable to succeed in Denver. Lynch is expected to play a significant portion of the game for the Seahawks.

Yes, it is just preseason, but it will be interesting to see what will happen. I fully expect the Broncos defense to stop anything the Seahawks throw their way when it comes to Lynch.

He clearly was not a good quarterback while in Denver and certainly was not worth the first-round pick they moved up to select him with.  He was unable to pass a number of quarterbacks on the depth chart, even though one of them—Trevor Siemian—was drafted in the seventh round.

It would surprise me greatly if we see Lynch as a much-improved quarterback.

Nonetheless, it is going to be a lot of fun to see the Denver Broncos defense square up against their former teammate.
