Can the Seattle Seahawks Maintain Their Preseason Momentum Against Denver Broncos?

The Seattle Seahawks have shown a promising start in their 2024 preseason, displaying a blend of strategic offense and a solid defense that could be pivotal in their upcoming game against the Denver Broncos. The Seahawks' performance in their past three games indicates a team that is finding its rhythm, particularly on defense, which could be crucial when they face off against the Broncos at Lumen Field.

In their most recent game against the Los Angeles Chargers, the Seahawks secured a 16-3 victory, showcasing their defensive prowess by limiting the Chargers to just 3 points. The defense recorded 3 sacks and forced an interception, demonstrating their ability to pressure opponents and create turnovers. This defensive solidity has been consistent throughout the preseason; for instance, they managed to hold off the Tennessee Titans to just 16 points in a closely contested match.


On offense, while there's room for improvement in terms of consistency and converting red zone opportunities into touchdowns, there have been flashes of potential that suggest they can pose a threat to Denver's defense. Quarterbacks Sam Howell and P.J. Walker have both had moments of effectiveness but will need to elevate their game further as they progress into the regular season.


Special teams also deserve mention for contributing significantly to field position battles. Kicker Jason Myers has been reliable when called upon, proving his worth as an asset for points on longer drives that stall before reaching the end zone.


However, it's not all smooth sailing for Seattle; penalties have occasionally hindered momentum during drives and on special teams plays. Discipline will be key moving forward if they are to minimize self-inflicted setbacks.


The Denver Broncos present an interesting challenge with their own set of strengths and weaknesses from previous performances this preseason. For Seattle to emerge victorious once more at Lumen Field come September 8th at 4:05 PM EDT against Denver Broncos will require them capitalizing on offensive opportunities while maintaining defensive intensity demonstrated thus far.


Fans eager not to miss any action from this promising matchup can tune into CBS or attend live at Lumen Field in Seattle where both teams will vie for supremacy early in this NFL season.
