The Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos are set to face off on Thursday night, with both teams struggling to find consistency under center. This pivotal Week 6 matchup features two dominant defenses carrying the load for their respective squads. Both Seattle and Denver are aiming to avoid their third loss of the season, a mark that would equal their entire total from the previous year.
The Seahawks' defense has been a standout performer, leading the NFL in yards per play, interceptions, takeaways, and net yards per game. In contrast, the Broncos' defense has established a formidable presence at home, recording multiple sacks in 19 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the league.
Quarterbacks Sam Darnold of the Seahawks and Bo Nix of the Broncos have both faced scrutiny for their performances.
