With seconds left and a chance to win the game, Broncos HC Nathaniel Hackett decided to let Brandon McManus attempt a 64-yard field goal instead of going for it on 4th and 5. What do you think the team should have done? BroncosCountry LetsRide Details:
SEATTLE — Russell Wilson lives life like a teleprompter follows him around. His words, while earnest, feel scripted or polished, depending on the viewing lens.
The losing debut came after the Broncos forced the Seahawks to punt with four minutes left after a Bradley Chubb sack. The Seahawks challenged the spot on a first down Albert Okwuegbunam lunged for and was given by fractions of an inch, but the call was upheld. The sloppy performance opened new coach Nathan Hackett to criticism for not playing his starters in preseason as he prioritized health over reps.
Wilson took his first snap at 6:24 mountain time, beginning at his own 10-yard line as boos cascaded down on him like so many raindrops. Wilson leaned on Andrew Beck — he caught two passes, his first receptions since 2019 — and set up a 30-yard Brandon McManus field goal as the 77-yard drive stalled.
The Broncos hit stride in their opening third quarter drive, but it ended with a transmission drop. Or a football slip, the first of two. On fourth down from the 1-yard line, Hackett faced his first tough decision. He showed nerves and went for it, but was second guessed as Melvin Gordon fumbled right as the ball was crossing the goal line.
