Seahawks face Broncos in Thursday Night Football clash

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 15 Oct, 21:14 · Archive

The 3-2 Seattle Seahawks visit the 3-2 Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football, with Seattle favoured by 2.5 points.

The Seattle Seahawks visit the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football with both teams holding 3-2 records. Seattle is favoured by 2.5 points, attributed to their elite defence. The winner will improve to 4-2, whilst the loser drops to .500.

The Seahawks' offence has centred on quarterback Sam Darnold and wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Darnold has thrown seven touchdown passes this season, six of which have gone to Smith-Njigba, along with the majority of his passing yards. The Broncos' defence would normally be well equipped to contain Smith-Njigba, but cornerback Pat Surtain is injured.

Denver won their most recent game 23-17 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Head coach Sean Payton removed offensive coordinator Davis Webb's playcalling duties following the victory. Broncos tackle Mike McGlinchey said of the win: 'It's successful with a win, that's all that matters. We got one in the W column, no matter what's happening.'

The match kicks off at 8:15 p.m. ET on Thursday, 15 October, and will be streamed exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
