Clash at Lumen Field: Denver Broncos Take on Seattle Seahawks

As the Denver Broncos prepare to face off against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field, fans are eager to see if the team can capitalize on last season's trends and start this season with a victory. The Broncos showcased a solid performance in various aspects of their game during the previous season, which they will look to build upon.

The team's red zone efficiency stood at 55 percent, indicating that more than half of their trips within the 20-yard line resulted in scoring. Their third-down conversion rate was 38 percent, which is an area they might aim to improve. However, when it came down to goal-to-go situations, they were successful 65 percent of the time.


In terms of passing, with a completion percentage of about 65 and an average yardage gain per pass attempt over seven yards, it suggests that their aerial attack was reliable. The rushing game also proved effective with an average gain per carry of approximately four yards.


Defensively speaking, with 36 sacks and 13 interceptions last year, pressure on opposing quarterbacks and creating turnovers could be key factors for success in this matchup. Special teams also contributed positively last season; field goal accuracy was high at around 84 percent and punting netted an average over forty-two yards.


While these statistics provide optimism for Broncos fans heading into this new season opener against the Seahawks at Lumen Field—a venue known for its loud crowd and potential impact on visiting teams—the focus will be on translating these numbers into a winning strategy on game day.


The upcoming NFL game is scheduled for September 13th at Lumen Field in Seattle. Fans can catch all the action live as it unfolds starting from midnight Eastern Time (ET) on ESPN (satellite channel number: two hundred six).
