Monday Night Football has been providing excellent football for over 50 years, bringing fans to Monday Night Football again for the 2022 NFL season. There are a new group of commentators who are at the games.
What to Watch has you covered with how to watch all of the top-time NFL offerings for the 2022 season, including Thursday Night Football and Sunday Night Football, but read on here to get everything you need to know right now about Monday Night Football, as well as the complete schedule and more.
The Denver Broncos vs. the Seattle Seahawks in a game preview
Before he was traded to the Denver Broncos this offseason, Russell Wilson was the long-time starting quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks. We don''t have to wait for him to make his first appearance against his former team.
Wilson is the most powerful game for the Denver Broncos, but he is not the only new addition. Head coach Nathaniel Hackett is new to the team, returning from working with Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers most recently. How will this new look offense already featuring great running back Javonte Williams, and wide receivers Jerry Jeudy, compare to another offense that he did last season? Meanwhile, the Denver defense hopes to repeat its performance, where it was a top 10 unit
The trade of Wilson provided a hard start for the Seahawks, while replacing them with Geno Smith. Although the Seahawks defense is still a long way from their Legion of Boom days, they were one of the worst NFL in yards per game allowed. This year will be a test to see how they can manage without their face of the franchise for the last decade.
Despite the game putting them in Seattle, the Broncos were 6.5 point favorites against the spread and are favored -292 against the moneyline.
