There once was a time where everything was shiny and bright in Seattle, especially for the Seahawks. The birds chirped, the music sounded great and the Seahawks had one of the most entertaining and dominant football teams in the land. All that was because of one specific reason. What was that reason? Well, of course, QB Russell Wilson. Wilson, now with the Denver Broncos will have his first game ever dressed in the Denver uniform when he goes to visit his former team, the Seahawks in Seattle in week 1 of the 2022 season.
With all of this said, how about instead of sulking in the past and preparing for the drama that’s to come, we take a trip down memory lane to the last time these two teams met, all the way back in 2018?
Let’s check the latest NFL picks, news, stats, injury reports, and NFL expert picks for Broncos vs Seahawks. We’ve plenty of NFL predictions for you to consider.
Week 1 of the 2018 season was the last time that both teams met up on the gridiron, that time locking up at Empower Field at Mile High, home of the Broncos. While for the Broncos it was Case Keenum at QB who led the offense for the Broncos, after having signed a two-year make-it-or-break-it deal with Denver after being a pivotal part of Minnesota’s amazing postseason run the prior season, for the Seahawks Russell Wilson was right there at front and center calling the shots for a Seahawks team looking to start out their season with a bang.
A bang is definitely something they got in this game as former Broncos defensive leader Von Miller and company routed Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks to a 27-24 loss that saw Wilson get sacked a total of six times, with also two fumbled balls and two interceptions, a performance that nobody was expecting out of one of the league’s most effective QBs. Still though Wilson managed to pass for 298 yards and three touchdowns, while Keenum, who now serves as backup for Josh Allen at Buffalo, passed for 329 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions.

Knowing what it’s like to start the season out losing against the Broncos, the Seahawks will definitely be looking to beat Wilson and the Broncos in the return of the QB to Seattle, but in all honesty, unless a true miracle happens up in the north west, one where the Broncos manage to not be one of the most improved and dangerous teams in the AFC for the 2022 season, there is almost no chance, if not any chance at all for the Seahawks to score a win in their home-season opener.
