Two of last year’s best teams face off in Week 6 of the 2026 NFL season. The first primetime game of the schedule features the Denver Broncos battling it out against the Seattle Seahawks.
Both teams went into deep playoff runs last season, with the Broncos losing in the AFC Championship game, while the Seahawks won the Super Bowl. However, much has changed.
Both starting quarterbacks have dealt with either injuries or dips in form have conditioned the offense of both sides so far. Hence, the QB depth charts matter a lot when it comes to this game between Broncos and Seahawks.
