Seahawks Offense Struggles

The Seahawks face significant challenges in their running game, averaging only 3.5 yards per carry. With injuries sidelining key players like Jadarian Price, the Broncos must focus on tackling effectively to limit Zach Charbonnet and Ken Walker III’s gains after contact. Meanwhile, Sam Darnold has struggled, throwing three touchdowns but also three interceptions in recent games, further complicating the Seahawks' offensive strategy.

Broncos Offensive Challenges

Despite a win, the Broncos' offense remains stagnant, averaging just 4.9 yards per play. Bo Nix has not been pushing the ball downfield, with an average air yards per attempt dropping to 5.2 this season. The running game has been equally ineffective, with J.K. Dobbins averaging only 3.6 yards per carry. The Broncos’ offensive woes pose a significant hurdle against the formidable Seahawks defense, known for limiting passing and rushing yards.

Prediction

While the Broncos managed a win last week, their offensive struggles are likely to continue against a tough Seahawks defense. With injuries on both sides, the matchup promises to be a test for both teams as they look to establish their offensive identities.
