Story summary

The Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos face off in Week 6 of the NFL season on Thursday night at Empower Field. Both teams are struggling with their quarterbacks; Sam Darnold of Seattle has thrown five interceptions this season, while Bo Nix of Denver has regressed into a checkdown-dependent quarterback, distributing only 6.0 air yards per attempt. The matchup comes after the Seahawks' tough loss to the San Francisco 49ers and the Broncos' disappointing start with issues in both offense and defense, particularly in the secondary which was missing key players against the Chargers last week. Both teams aim to avoid a third loss this season, matching their total from last year's full campaign.
