Overview
- The Broncos beat the Seattle Seahawks 17-14 in overtime Thursday night when Ja’Quan McMillian intercepted Sam Darnold on the first OT possession and Wil Lutz made a 53-yard field goal to win the game.
- Denver’s defense dominated with five sacks, two interceptions and a forced fumble, repeatedly pressuring Darnold and creating the turnovers that determined the outcome.
- The Broncos’ offense struggled for the second half, totaling just 168 yards overall and enduring multiple second-half three-and-outs that left Bo Nix’s efficiency under renewed scrutiny.
- Sam Darnold finished with 278 yards but threw two late interceptions and was sacked five times, deepening questions about Seattle’s quarterback play and depth behind him.
- The result leaves Denver at 4-2 and Seattle at 3-3, and it sets up key tests next week that will show whether Denver’s defensive-led wins are sustainable and whether either team will change their QB approach.
