Gifting the Broncos great field position twice with turnovers, the Seahawks can thank their defense for somehow only trailing by four at the half in their opener.
surrendered four points on a pair of safeties in the end zone to fall behind 13-9 at halftime to the Denver Broncos in their season opener.
Luckily for Smith and the offense, Seattle's defense came through with a quick stop, thwarting the Broncos on three plays and holding them to a Will Lutz field goal to limit the damage. Unfortunately, Seattle botched not one, but two different possessions where it started pinned at its own one-yard line. First, after an interception by safety Julian Love on rookie quarterback Bo Nix, right guard Anthony Bradford committed an egregious hold in the end zone, which by rule results in a safety.
Sandwiched in between those three ugly plays, the Seahawks did find the end zone for the first time in 2024, as Smith darted 34 yards for a touchdown after climbing the pocket, juking out safety P.J. Locke in the process. They missed the two-point conversion, but took their first lead of the afternoon with a 9-8 advantage, only to cough the lead back up moments later when Charbonnet was stuffed behind the goal line.
