The Denver Broncos secured a 17-14 victory against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night, largely due to standout defensive performances. Kris Abrams-Draine's late interception was critical, although the Broncos' offense struggled to capitalize afterward. Ja’Quan McMillian distinguished himself with solid play, while the defensive line pressured quarterback Sam Darnold significantly, registering 17 hits throughout the game. Defensive coordinator Vance Joseph effectively utilized his roster, keeping Seattle's offense off-balance. This win could bolster the Broncos' confidence moving forward.
