The Denver Broncos secured a 17-14 overtime victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night, according to accounts from Fox News and NBC Sports. After Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold was intercepted by cornerback Ja’Quan McMillian on the opening possession of sudden death, kicker Wil Lutz converted a 53-yard field goal from the Seattle 43-yard line to end the game. The result improved Denver to 4-2 on the season, while Seattle dropped to 3-3.
Both outlets reported that Denver established a 14-3 advantage by halftime following short touchdown runs from J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey. However, the Broncos struggled to sustain momentum in the final two quarters, with quarterback Bo Nix finishing the contest with 107 passing yards. Seattle mounted a fourth-quarter rally to level the score, capped by a 34-yard field goal from Jason Myers with three seconds remaining in regulation.
Despite amassing 353 total yards and getting 12 catches for 134 yards from receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seattle's offense was derailed by three turnovers, according to both reports. Denver's defense brought Darnold down for five sacks and generated takeaways via a fumble recovery from Rashid Shaheed and an interception by Kris Abrams-Draine before McMillian’s decisive pick in extra time.
