**Denver, CO -** The Denver Broncos are set to kick off their 2023 NFL regular season against the Seattle Seahawks at Empower Field at Mile High on Sunday, September 10th. The game will mark the NFL regular season debut for quarterback Bo Nix, the Broncos' first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Bo Nix Leads Denver Broncos in Season Opener Against Seattle Seahawks
Nix, who played college football at Auburn University, brings a dynamic skillset to the Broncos' offense. His quick release, strong arm, and mobility make him a threat both through the air and on the ground. He will look to establish a connection with a talented receiving corps led by Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, and KJ Hamler.
The Broncos' running game, anchored by Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon III, will provide balance and support for Nix. Williams, a second-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, rushed for over 900 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie. Gordon, a veteran with seven NFL seasons under his belt, brings experience and leadership to the backfield.
Defensively, the Broncos boast one of the most formidable units in the league. Led by All-Pro cornerback Patrick Surtain II and edge rusher Bradley Chubb, the Broncos' defense excels at creating turnovers and pressuring opposing quarterbacks. Surtain, a second-year player, has already established himself as one of the top young cornerbacks in the NFL, while Chubb is a proven pass rusher with multiple double-digit sack seasons to his credit.
The Seahawks, coached by Pete Carroll, are led by quarterback Geno Smith. Smith, who took over as the starter last season, led the Seahawks to a surprising playoff appearance in 2022. He will have a number of talented weapons at his disposal, including wide receiver DK Metcalf, tight end Noah Fant, and running back Kenneth Walker III.
The Seahawks' defense, coordinated by Clint Hurtt, is known for its aggressive style and opportunistic play. Led by safety Quandre Diggs and cornerback Tariq Woolen, the Seahawks' secondary is capable of making big plays.
The Broncos vs. Seahawks game is expected to be a close and competitive contest. Both teams have their strengths and weaknesses, and the outcome could ultimately be determined by which team can execute their game plan better. The Broncos will look to control the tempo of the game with their running game and defense, while the Seahawks will try to strike quickly through the air with Smith and Metcalf.
With Nix making his NFL debut and the Broncos eager to start their season on a high note, the atmosphere at Empower Field at Mile High is sure to be electric. The game will be broadcast live on CBS and will also be available on streaming services such as Paramount+ and NFL+.
