Overview
- Kickoff is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 15 at 5:15 p.m. PT from Empower Field at Mile High and the game will air on Amazon Prime Video with Al Michaels, Kirk Herbstreit and Kaylee Hartung.
- Both teams enter Week 6 at 3-2 after Seattle's 32-29 loss to the 49ers and Denver's 23-17 win over the Chargers, making this a key midseason test for both clubs.
- Seattle listed WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba as a limited participant on the first injury report after an ankle scare and expects RB Zach Charbonnet to sit out again, though the coach called availability subject to change.
- Betting markets show Seattle as a 3-point favorite with an over/under of 40.5 and SportsLine's 10,000-simulation model projects the Under, roughly 39 combined points, as the likeliest outcome.
- Turnovers have been a major issue for Seattle, with seven giveaways in their two losses, and the short Thursday turnaround raises the impact of ball security and game-plan conservatism; the teams will also wear 1980s throwback uniforms and Denver leads the all-time series 35-23 including Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014.
