The Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos will open Week 6 on "Thursday Night Football," with kickoff set for 8:15 p.m. ET from Empower Field at Mile High in Denver.
The defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks enter at 3-2, two games back in the NFC West, after dropping two of their last three games (Week 3 @ WAS, Week 5 vs. SF). While Seattle's run game continues to flounder, reigning Offensive Player of the Year Jaxon Smith-Njigba is holding strong, leading the league in receiving yards (583) and receiving touchdowns (seven). The defense continues to do its part, too, giving up a league-low 251.2 yards per game while forcing a turnover on 15.5% of opponent drives — the sixth-highest rate in the league.
The Broncos also sit at 3-2 ahead of Week 6, but have looked like a shell of the team that advanced to the AFC Championship just last year. Bo Nix has continued to struggle, with head coach Sean Payton taking over play-calling duties from offensive coordinator Davis Webb as they search for a spark. Further hurting Denver's cause, the team will be without two All-Pros on defense this week, with cornerback Patrick Surtain II and safety Talanoa Hufanga both ruled out with ankle injuries.
