Ja'Quan McMillian's overtime interception set up a 53-yard Wil Lutz field goal to seal a 17-14 win.
The Broncos needed their defense to bail out an offense that mostly disappeared, beating the Seahawks 17-14 in overtime on Thursday night. Denver led by 11 in the fourth quarter, a lead that has historically been safe at home, but Seattle clawed back to force the extra period anyway.
Sam Darnold and the Seahawks did themselves no favors. He threw two interceptions on the night, the second coming on Seattle's first possession of overtime. Ja'Quan McMillian picked him off at the Seattle 43, handing Denver's offense a short field it barely needed. Wil Lutz drilled a 53-yard field goal to end it.
Bo Nix and the offense were not the story in a good way. In the second half, Denver managed just 30 yards and two first downs, going 0-for-6 on third down, with Nix completing 7 of 12 passes for 29 yards over the final 30 minutes. The game-winning drive itself covered only 8 yards. None of that mattered because the defense harassed Darnold all night and delivered the turnovers that actually decided the outcome.
The Broncos improve to 4-2. The Seahawks fall to 3-3.
