The Denver Broncos have gotten their fourth win of the season after nearly blowing an 11-point fourth-quarter lead against the Seattle Seahawks, who forced overtime.
Seattle started overtime with the ball. On third and seven from the Seahawks 28-yard line, Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold threw an interception to cornerback Ja'Quan McMillan, to give Denver the ball back inside Seahawks territory with a chance to win. It was Darnold's second interception of the night. The Broncos capitalized on that opportunity. They got to the 35-yard line, setting up kicker Wil Lutz for the 53-yard to win the game 17-14.
Here is a look at Darnold’s overtime interception and Lutz’ perfect field goal to win the game, courtesy of the NFL’s official social media:

After starting the season 2-0, the Seahawks have now lost their last two games in a row and three of their last four. With a 3-3 record, this is the first time Seattle has had a non-winning record since Week 2 of last season, when they had a 1-1 record. There is also now only one team in the NFC West with a non-winning record being the San Francisco 49ers who are 5-0.
On the other hand, Denver is now 4-2 despite failing to score in the entire third and fourth quarters. The Broncos continue to be a team that is drastically different in the first half compared to the second half. They just happened to be better in the first half in this game when they have typically been better in the second half.
