Denver have taken 36 penalties for 227 yards, among the lowest yardage totals in the NFL.
Friday’s designations will settle both backfields.
Where Seahawks vs Broncos is decided
Two secondaries this good usually produce a low score, and the third-down numbers agree. Neither side has found a way to stay on the field.
The difference is what happens when they do. Seattle have scored 134 points to Denver’s 97, and Smith-Njigba’s 583 receiving yards lead the NFL outright.
For UK viewers this is the alarm-clock game of the round, and two stalling offences are unlikely to reward it with points.
Players to watch
- Jaxon Smith-Njigba (SEA, WR): 583 receiving yards, the most of any player in the NFL.
- Emanuel Wilson (SEA, RB): 251 rushing yards against a front conceding 4.71 a carry.
- Courtland Sutton (DEN, WR): The senior target in a Denver passing game rating 80.8.
- RJ Harvey (DEN, RB): Shares a backfield in an offence that has scored 97 points.
