Broncos vs. Seahawks: Offensive Blueprint to Win Season Opener

Title: Denver Broncos' Offensive Blueprint to Win Season Opener Against Seattle Seahawks

In the upcoming season opener, the Denver Broncos will face a formidable challenge as they take on the Seattle Seahawks. As Bo Nix prepares for his first game with the Broncos, he must navigate the Seahawks' good defense and new head coach, Mike MacDonald, one of the most creative defensive minds in the NFL. To emerge victorious, the Broncos should focus on running the ball to relieve pressure off Nix and disrupt the creative packages of MacDonald and defensive coordinator Aden Durde.

The Seahawks struggled with rush defense last year, allowing the second-highest rushing yards per game and the second-highest EPA/per rush. However, they have made improvements, including the addition of Johnathan Hankins to their defensive line. Byron Murphy II, a first-round draft pick, can help defend the run with his quickness and knee-drop technique. The Broncos should test these players on the edge, as Uchenna Nwosu is expected to be without the starting edge defender, Derrick Hall.

Mike MacDonald's defense in Baltimore was known for creating pressure on opposing quarterbacks, and it's likely he will aim to replicate this success with the talent available in Seattle. If the Broncos can establish a run game and sustain it for time-consuming drives, they have a better chance of winning the season opener and starting the Nix era off right.
