Broncos beat Seahawks in overtime despite 168-yard output from Bo Nix's offense
Key Points:
- The Denver Broncos secured a 17-14 overtime victory against the Seattle Seahawks despite a struggling offense that managed only 168 total yards, marking the first Broncos win with under 175 yards since 1983.
- Quarterback Bo Nix had a lackluster performance, completing 17 of 27 passes for 107 yards with two sacks and a 71.1 passer rating, drawing criticism from former NFL QB Ryan Fitzpatrick for a perceived lack of competitiveness and effort.
- Head coach Sean Payton, who recently took over play-calling duties, praised the defense and acknowledged the offense's struggles, emphasizing the importance of the win while recognizing the need for significant improvement.
- The Broncos' offense showed flashes during two successful scoring drives but was largely ineffective during the remainder of the game, generating only two first downs and 45 yards across nine other drives.
- Despite offensive woes, the Broncos improved to 4-2, with Payton describing the wins as hard-fought and expressing optimism for continued progress, though he admitted there is much work to be done.
