Pat Surtain Faces a Big Test as the Broncos Prepare for Seattle Showdown
Pat Surtain's Challenge in Seattle
A tall test awaits the Denver Broncos on Sunday. They head into a loud and hostile Seattle environment to face the Seattle Seahawks who, under a new head coach, have a much more seasoned and established offense than the Broncos. Geno Smith may not be a name that many think of when they think of great NFL quarterbacks, but the guy is a solid player who has piloted two good seasons with the Seahawks.
Three Key Areas for the Broncos
The Broncos are going to be tested in a big way and for them to pass they need to measure up in the following three ways:
- Understanding the Seahawks' Offense
- Key Defensive Plays
- Maintaining Composure in a Hostile Environment
The good news is that the NFL largely thinks the Broncos are looking at a 4-6 win season. You can easily say that the Broncos can use this game as a major learning tool no matter the outcome. But that way of thinking is as bunk as the thinking of pundits that once again have the Los Angeles Chargers winning 3 more games than the Broncos even though it makes no sense on paper.
