The NFL never ceases to disappoint with their “convenient” way of scheduling games that have extra meaning. Look no further than new Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson’s first game in a Denver uniform, which just so happens to be against his old team in the Seattle Seahawks, on the first Monday Night Football (MNF) game of the season no less.
Now with Wilson at the helm, the Broncos are unsurprisingly the favorites here, with this game being played in Seattle on Monday, Sept. 12 at 8:15 p.m. ET.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. The Seahawks went to back-to-back Super Bowls in 2013-2014, and have slowly descended since then.
Granted, they did make the playoffs every year from 2015-2020 except for one, but they never advanced past the Divisional Round. Their vaunted defense led by the “Legion of Boom,” have all moved on, with the only constants being quarterback Russell Wilson, middle linebacker Bobby Wagner, and head coach Pete Carroll in the remaining years.
