Seahawks vs Broncos: Excitement Grows for Bo Nix's Debut
Seahawks vs Broncos: Game Preview Story
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — It’s time to see how the Broncos stack up.
Following an offseason that featured significant roster moves and an encouraging preseason, the 2024 season has at last arrived.
The Broncos share the NFL’s best season-opening winning percentage with Dallas, and Denver will put that Week 1 resume on the line as the team travels to Seattle.
In quarterback Bo Nix’s first career start, the Broncos will look to win their first Week 1 game since 2021. And while all 17 regular-season games count the same in the race toward the postseason, the Broncos know the importance of starting fast.
Historical Context of Week 1
Since 1990, just 25 percent of teams to start 0-1 have made the postseason — and 10 of the 14 eventual playoff teams from a year ago won their Week 1 matchup. Of the four teams that lost, three were defeated by teams that went on to make the playoffs.
Though the Broncos climbed out of the hole of a 1-5 start to hold a 7-6 record through Week 14 of 2023, Head Coach Sean Payton has noted on several occasions the Broncos cannot follow that same path in this new season.
