Broncos vs Seahawks Game Online TV Coverage Info

The AFC of 2022 is the strongest conference the NFL has had in recent memory, and it could turn out to be the strongest conference the league has ever had in its history.

Headlining the conference is the AFC West, which boasts four teams that are all thought to be Super Bowl contenders.

Each team there has an elite or near-elite quarterback as well as at least one Pro Bowl-caliber pass rusher.

Garett Bollesa left tackle for the Denver Broncos, says that the eventual Super Bowl champion this season will likely come from the AFC West.

“It’s going to be a bloodbath,” said Bolles of the AFC West, “but that’s what you look forward to. … I can tell you this, one of these teams in the AFC West will probably win the Super Bowl because of the caliber of teams we have here.”

The Chargers Could Electrify The Rest Of The Division

For years, the Los Angeles Chargers had often fielded a strong team with one of the best QBs in the game, but they had always found a way to fall short of expectations.

In the last dozen seasons, they have managed to reach the playoffs only twice, and they haven’t been to the AFC Championship Game since the 2007 season.

Many believe this is the year Los Angeles returns to that big stage.

With QB Justin Herbert becoming one of the truly elite at his position, and a defense that has been massively upgraded with the acquisitions of Khalil Mack, J.C. Jackson, and Austin Jacksonthe Bolts are now considered real championship contenders.

Health is a concern, as J.C. Jackson, a Pro Bowl cornerback, will miss multiple weeks following ankle surgery, but other than that, the Bolts are ready to shock their competition.

The Raiders Are Hoping For A Return To Glory

The Las Vegas Raiders have always found a way to grab the headlines, but this season, it may be for good reasons.

They traded for Davante Adamsarguably the best wide receiver in the game, and they have added pass rusher Chandler Jones to a front seven that already features Maxx Crosby.

Quarterback Derek Carr may be a bit short of being a truly elite signal-caller, but Las Vegas seems to have what it needs to win its first division title since 2002.

Denver Is A Contender Again

Six years after Peyton Manning retired following a Super Bowl win, the Denver Broncos have returned to the NFL’s elite by trading for QB Russell Wilson.

They have also added Randy Gregorywho will beef up their pass-rushing attack.

Denver doesn’t have the greatest collection of receivers, and one of them, Tim Patrickwon’t play at all this season due to a torn ACL.

But the Broncos still feel that, at worst, they have a puncher’s chance at winning it all.

Kansas City Could Still Be The Chiefs Of The Division

The Kansas City Chiefs, winners of the Super Bowl three seasons ago, have lost star wideout Tyreek Hillbut they still feel great about their chances, and so do many observers.

In an attempt to replace Hill, the team has brought in Marquez Valdes-Scantling and JuJu Smith-Schuster.

With Patrick Mahomes still under center, the Chiefs still could have the best chance of winning the toughest division in pro football.

The Vikings didn’t just lose the first two games. They also couldn’t pull off a victory against the Denver Broncos in the third and final preseason game. Much more important are the player observations. The biggest losers of the game, in no particular order.

Olabisi Johnson

This one is very unfortunate and heartbreaking. Johnson just returned from a torn ACL suffered a year ago that caused him to miss the 2021 season. In Saturday’s game, he went down with another torn ACL. This time, it’s his other knee.

Before his injuries, he had a productive career, especially for a seventh-rounder. In 2019, the rookie became a reliable third receiver for the purple team behind Thielen and Diggs. He recorded almost 300 yards and three scores. In 2020, he started over Justin Jefferson for two games after the Vikings traded away Diggs. Once Jefferson clinched a starting role, Johnson was a backup and rotational player. He finished the year with 189 yards.

In 2022, he practiced and played well enough to earn a roster spot. In a WR-heavy offense, he could’ve had some success, even as a WR4 or WR5. Sadly, his season is over. Johnson will be an unrestricted free agent after the season. It’s up in the air if he’ll play another game in Vikings uniform. Hopefully, he can recover from the setback and continue his playing career.

Sean Mannion

The quarterback landed on that list in the first preseason game and was close to landing on it after the second. This time, he once again made it. His stat line of 9/16 passes for 121 yards doesn’t look bad. However, people who watched the game saw a QB that doesn’t look like an NFL passer. He is incredibly smart and rarely makes a mistake but is limited physically. Mannion lacks arm strength, accuracy, and touch. Most of his throws are high for no reason.

If the Vikings want to keep him, they should offer him a coaching job. It would be insane to spend a roster spot for him, and even the practice squad feels like a wasted spot. If he ever had to come onto the field, the Vikings should just forfeit the game.

Nick Muse

The tight end made the winners list last week, and some even considered him for a roster spot after Zach Davidson’s drops. Just one week later, Muse struggled just as badly. He dropped two passes, which might have cost him a roster spot. The practice squad is more likely at the moment. He finished the game with one catch for 11 yards.

Kene Nwangwu

The running back didn’t play a lot in the final preseason game. His roster spot is safe, and the Vikings need him healthy. However, his performance wasn’t great. In the first Vikings play from scrimmage, Nwangwu fumbled the ball. A catastrophic play that can’t happen in the regular season. He’s currently fighting with Ty Chandler and Alexander Mattison for the backup touches. The fumble didn’t help.

Timon Parris

In the first games, he played at the very end and actually had some nice moments. On Saturday, he played the full second half, and his game was a disaster. He allowed three sacks and was called for two penalties. That should do it for the veteran tackle in Minnesota.

Zach McCloud

The edge rusher did a bad job containing the run. He had a few good plays mixed in but mostly had a bad game. That’s bad timing in a battle for a potential fifth spot among edge rushers on the 53-man roster. His teammate Luiji Vilain had a comparable game. Like McCloud, he struggled against the run but played better in the pass rush. Neither of the two looked like they belonged on the regular season team.

After returning from an ACL injury that sidelined him for 14 games last season, Denver Broncos speedy receiver KJ Hamler was treated delicately by the team’s staff this summer.

Hamler was slowly eased back into practice as a precaution and he did not play in the team’s first two preseason games. Once he was cleared for full-contact, Hamler asked to play in the preseason finale and coach Nathaniel Hackett granted his request.

“I really wanted to get in,” Hamler said after a 23-13 win over the Minesota Vikings on Saturday. “Hackett didn’t really want to play me, but I was like, ‘Let me just get in, get a few reps and see if I am still myself.’ I just wanted to be back to myself.”

Hackett allowed Hamler to play 25 snaps and the receiver caught three passes for 18 yards. Hamler wanted to play even longer, but the coaching staff wanted to be cautious.

“We had to take him out, he wanted to keep going,” Hackett said. “He was having such a great time. I think it’s great for him to be able to catch the ball, take a couple pops. You want him to want to stay in those situations. For a guy that hasn’t played for as long as he had, it’s very encouraging, and he’s feeling a lot better.”

Even though it was just a preseason game, Saturday’s appearance was a big step for Hamler as he prepares for the regular season.

“I’m glad I got out there and got a lot of plays and reps in just to build up endurance in my legs,” Hamler said. “So I am glad I did all of that.”

Saturday night was the last chance for players on the Denver Broncos’ roster bubble to prove they deserve a spot on the team’s 53-man roster.

Even the players who don’t make the Broncos’ roster could still land with other teams if they performed well in preseason. Denver coach Nathaniel Hackett emphasized that point to players on the roster bubble before the team’s preseason finale against the Minnesota Vikings.

“When we came into this game, I talked with all those guys about that they’re not just out there putting tape out there for us, but it’s for the whole NFL,” Hackett said. “This is a dream for all those guys that are in there. It doesn’t matter if you’re a veteran — even for me, for all of us. It’s a dream to be able to do this job.

“I just wanted to be sure those guys went out there today [Saturday] and gave it their all. Took their shots, make plays, played free, and it was great to see those guys do that and all those guys get after it. I think they are all going to have tape. It might not work out for the Denver Broncos, but very well could work for another football team.”

The Broncos have to make 27 roster moves before Tuesday’s deadline to submit a 53-man roster. After that, Denver will build a 16-player practice squad and then turn attention to the regular season.

Lewis Hamilton is arguably one of the greatest drivers of all time. Although, even the greats make mistakes sometimes. Hamilton had an excellent chance to win his first race of the season. However, it was not Hamilton’s day as he crashed with Alonso in the first lap.

Fortunately for Lewis, his NFL-co-owned team Denver Broncos won their first match of the pre-season, giving him a reason to smile.

Things got uglier when Hamilton’s ex-teammate, Fernando Alonso labeled him “an idiot” after the duo collided. Eventually, Lewis Hamilton took the blame for crashing into Alonso and admitted he had nothing to say about Alonso’s remarks about him.

Hamilton said, “It was definitely my fault today.” He further added“I tried to overtake on the outside of Turn 5, just didn’t leave quite enough space. It wasn’t intentional it just happened.”

Anyway, Hamilton brushed off his forgettable day in Spa by cheering for his co-owned NFL team, Denver Broncos. The 7-time world champion posted the score of the Broncos’ pre-season win on his Instagram story with the caption “Let’s go”.

DIVE DEEPER

Neither Hamilton nor Mercedes could win yesterday, but his team’s first preseason victory would have brought a smile to his face.

Lewis Hamilton becomes a co-owner at Denver Broncos

Lewis Hamilton joined the Denver Broncos ownership group with one of America’s richest families – The Waltons. In a statement released by The Waltons on their club website, they said, “We’re delighted to welcome Seven-Time Formula One World Champion Sir Lewis Hamilton to our ownership group.”

“He is a champion competitor who knows what it takes to lead a winning team and a fierce advocate for global equality, including in his own sport.”

The statement continued, “With over 100 race wins, Lewis is considered the most successful F1 driver of all time. His resilient spirit and standard of excellence will be an asset to the ownership group and the Broncos organization.”

Denver Broncos is one of the most successful teams in the Super Bowl era, winning the title 3-times.

In what was a forgetful evening for Lewis Hamilton, he will be hoping Mercedes improve on a disappointing race at Spa when they travel to Zandvoort for the Dutch GP. Lewis’ streak of crossing the chequered flag every race of this season also came to an unfortunate end. Do you think Mercedes can win a race this year?

NFL cuts are supposed to be in by 2:00pm MT on Tuesday, August 30.

While the final rosters are soon to be hammered out, Monday is the last day for the NFL dream of many to live. For months, players have worked out together, fought together, and attended meetings together. They’ve put themselves on tape and made their case.

Teams will go from 80 to 53 players on Tuesday and for many players that will be the end of the road. On Wednesday, the practice squad will be assembled. For those who don’t get a spot, the NFL dream will come to an end.

Training camp and preseason are now over. The time has come to the elite few to don the orange and blue and begin to make their case for Broncos supremacy in the NFL. The ineptitude of Vic Fangio, Drew Lock, Teddy Bridgewater, and Pat Shurmur have been replaced by the excitement of what’s to come with Nathanial Hackett and Russell Wilson. New regime, new ownership, new quarterback, new Broncos.

Let’s ride.

Seriously, let’s make some freakin’ noise this season.

Drew Lock’s hopes of getting some revenge against the Denver Broncos have been put on hold.

The former Broncos quarterback competed with Geno Smith for the Seattle Seahawks’ starting job this offseason. Smith was named the team’s starter after Seattle’s preseason finale, so he’ll line up under center when the Seahawks host on the Broncos on Monday Night Football in Week 1.

Denver acquired star quarterback Russell Wilson from Seattle earlier this offseason and Lock was sent to the Seahawks as part of the trade. The first MNF game of the season had the possibility of a Wilson vs. Lock showdown with both QBs facing their former teams, but Lock will instead be watching from the sidelines barring injury.

Lock will want to eventually prove that the Broncos gave up on him to early, but after losing yet another quarterback competition, the QB’s chances of ever becoming a full-time starter are starting to dwindle.

Lock won’t get an opportunity to prove Denver wrong in Week 1 and if he doesn’t turn his career around quickly, he might never get a chance to.

The Denver Broncos are excited to see quarterback Russell Wilson make his debut but other players are bound to break out.

Safety Justin Simmons highlighted one wide receiver during the Broncos telecast in their final preseason game against the Vikings.

“Jerry Jeudy,” said Simmons to 9News Denver. “I’m excited to see what he’s gonna do this year.”

The Broncos selected Jeudy with the 15th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft before fellow pass catchers CeeDee Lamb and Justin Jefferson. He had a stellar career at Alabama winning a national championship, a Biletnikoff Award and being named a Consensus All-American.

According to Pro Football Focus, Jeudy had the potential to be as good as fellow Alabama wide receivers Julio Jones and Amari Cooper. Unfortunately for Jeudy, the first two years of his career were a mixed bag.

Jeudy has played with five different quarterbacks in Denver. As a result, he’s struggled to get in a groove. In 2020, he caught less than 50% of his passes. However, he still led the team in receiving yards. He also made one of the most impressive catches of the year against the New York Jets.

Expectations were high for Jeudy again in 2021, but a right ankle sprain derailed his season forcing him to miss seven games.

Jeudy is entering a make-or-break year now that he has a Super Bowl-winning quarterback and he faces a little pressure from intriguing prospects Brandon Johnson and Seth Williams. Both impressed during the preseason.

The Broncos also lost Tim Patrick for the entire season with a torn right ACL.
