Story summary

The Denver Broncos narrowly defeated the Seattle Seahawks 17-14 in overtime on Thursday night. The game highlighted significant struggles for both teams: Bo Nix of the Broncos threw just 107 yards and completed only five passes that went beyond eight yards, while Sam Darnold of the Seahawks finished with a paltry completion rate of 52.9% and threw two interceptions, including one in overtime. Despite these issues, Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald expressed faith in Darnold's ability to turn things around. The Broncos' defense was instrumental in their win, recording an NFL-record-tying dozen quarterback hits on Darnold. Both teams are now 4-2 and 3-3 respectively, facing challenges with turnovers and inconsistent offense. The Seahawks will next host the Kansas City Chiefs.
