The Seattle Seahawks suffered a crushing 17-14 overtime loss to the Denver Broncos on Thursday night, as they were unable to capitalize on a late comeback after forcing overtime with a field goal in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter of play.
Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold completed 27 of 51 passes for 278 yards but threw two interceptions, including a costly turnover in overtime. Wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba paced the offense with 12 receptions for 134 yards, while running back Emanuel Wilson contributed 52 rushing yards. For Denver, quarterback Bo Nix threw for 107 yards without an interception. Running back J.K. Dobbins rushed for 41 yards and a touchdown, while RJ Harvey also scored on the ground.
The Broncos established a 14-3 lead at halftime, but Seattle answered in the fourth quarter when George Holani scored from one yard out, followed by a successful two-point conversion reception by Rashid Shaheed. Jason Myers then drilled a 34-yard field goal with three seconds remaining to send the game into overtime. However, Denver's Ja'Quan McMillian intercepted Darnold in overtime, setting the stage for Wil Lutz to hit the 53-yard game-winning field goal.
Let’s take a look at reactions to the Seahawks’ loss to the Broncos.

Brutal finish. Darnold goes 27-of-51 with two picks and five sacks. JSN put up 12 for 134 and it still wasn't enough to get out of Mile High with a W.

the Seahawks can’t catch a break. They always seem to find a way to get back in the game but the wins are not coming. I think they brought Sam Darnold back too early and Drew Lock was really playing well when Darnold was out so I’m really suggesting they play Drew Lock next week

This team needs Charbonnet back! Emanuel Wilson constantly missing lanes running straight into defenders.
