Monday night was the biggest game of the week as former Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson faced his old team. Russell was traded to the Broncos this offseason.
In Wilson’s first game as a Denver Bronco played well, Wilson completed 29 of 42 throws and a touchdown. As for Denver’s rookie head coach Nathaniel Hackett he had a very rough first game as a head coach. The Broncos offense looked like a mess creating multiple mistakes including committing twelve penalties, hurrying the offensive line which then created a lost fumble at the goal line, as Denver was at the goal line three different times last night the result in those three goal lines were two fumbles and a field goal, safe to say Denver won’t be this poorly coached next week.
Jerry Juedy also showed out, Jeudy finished with one of his best games as he caught four passes for 102 yards and a touchdown. Juedy is finally showing why he was a first round pick for Denver a few years back and this is his year to breakout. One other takeaway for Denver is why didn’t Nathaniel Hackett give Javonte Williams more carries? Williams was utilized more in the passing game last night finishing with 11 receptions for 65 yards but only 7 calories for43 yards which is an average of 6.1 yards per carry.
As for the Seahawks they looked poised in the first half as Seahawks QB Geno Smith completed 17 of 18 throws and two touchdowns and finished the game with 23 for 28 on throws but the offense looked staggered in the second half as they didn’t score at all.
The other takeaway from this game for Seattle is the injury to star safety Jamal Adams who, according to Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Adams knee injury was “serious”. Adams will undergo MRI testing but there has been no news as of yet.
