Seattle Seahawks vs Denver Broncos Game Preview

Seattle brings an elite turnover-forcing unit (97th pctl) and a strong pass rush (80th pctl) into Mile High, but a third-down offense ranked near the bottom of the league (6th pctl) that routinely stalls drives. Their explosive passing attack sits at 89th pctl, making them capable of striking quickly when they do get things going.

Denver counters with one of the slowest offenses in the league (12th pctl pace) and minimal big-play production in either phase -- explosive pass at 16th pctl, explosive run at 12th pctl. Their protection allows sacks at an 88th pctl rate, putting the passing game under pressure before it starts. The matchup sets up as a Seattle defense looking to force chaos against a Denver offense that struggles to generate any.

Check back the day before the game for the full preview and picks.
