Where Seahawks vs Broncos is decided
Two secondaries this good usually produce a low score, and the third-down numbers agree. Seattle converts 29.8%, Denver 33.8%.

Denver’s run defence is the soft spot: 726 rushing yards conceded at 4.71 a carry. Seattle averages 3.81 on the ground, so this is less a mismatch than an invitation.
