The Denver Broncos led by Russell Wilson will face the Seattle Seahawks in week 1 to kick off their new campaign.
The Denver Broncos will face the Seattle Seahawks on 12th September 2022 to kickstart their new NFL season. This will be a battle of two teams who have totally different aspirations going into this season.
Russell Wilson will be up against his former team in his debut for the Broncos, and that will be a sight to behold. Moreover, on paper, the Broncos are way better than the current team of Seahawks because mainly of the difference in qualities of both teams’ quarterbacks.
Following the departure of Wilson to the Broncos, Geno Smith was declared as the starting quarterback of the team, and he has a tough job to take care of in this opening fixture.
