Seattle's Matt Hasselbeck and Denver's Kyle Orton both played fairly well in the first half, but the Seahawks reserves pulled away in the second half. The Seahawks improved to 2-0 on the NFL preseason with a 27-13 win over the Denver Broncos.
Hasselbeck completed 16 passes in 23 attempts including two touchdowns, though he was sacked three times. That was a big concern as [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] he missed considerable time last season due to a back injury, but appeared to suffer no ill effects here. Still, the Seahawks starting QB said it was a [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] traumatic experience:
"It's just like [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] I remembered- no fun. ... I forgot how hard people hit in here. It's just like a car accident. It's part of the game ... and it [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] 16 of his first 19 pass attempts including a touchdown before finishing 18 of 26 for 182 yards with a touchdown and an interception. After the game, Orton indicated that hes feeling confident [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] about his play:
"I've got an awful lot of confidence right [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] now, I really do. This is the best offense I've ever played with. This is the best talent around me that I've ever had. I just feel [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] that my game right now is as good as it has ever been.
Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels was more measured in his assessment:
"I think he acquitted himself fairly well. He played, you know, fairly well. There's still obviously room for improvement. But he did what we feel he is capable of doing.
