The Denver Broncos defeated the Seattle Seahawks 17-14 in overtime during their Week 6 matchup at Empower Field at Mile High. Following the victory, this at-a-glance evaluation highlights which Broncos players saw their stock rise and which saw their stock fall based on their individual production and situational impact against Seattle.
Stock Up
Ja’Quan McMillian The common assumption is that coverage specialists rarely impact the backfield – yet McMillian contributed across multiple defensive categories. He recorded five solo tackles, an interception, two passes defended, a tackle for loss, and a sack for a 6-yard loss. No only did McMillian produce, but he demonstrated a consistent ability to disrupt the Seattle passing attack, both in coverage and behind the line of scrimmage.
Kris Abrams-Draine It’s difficult for defensive backs to consistently force turnovers, but Abrams-Draine generated critical negative plays against the Seahawks, securing an interception and forcing a fumble. He finished the game with five tackles – four solo – and three passes defended. Filling in for injured star Pat Surtain II, Abrams-Draine was highly effective at limiting Seattle’s perimeter production and ending opponent drives.
RJ Harvey Harvey was efficient with his opportunities, rushing six times for 25 yards – averaging 4.2 yards per carry – and a touchdown off a direct snap. He also caught three of his four targets for 31 yards to lead the team in receiving. His ground production exceeded his four-game season rushing baseline of 3.8 attempts and 14.0 yards per game, while his receiving output aligned closely with his average of 33.0 receiving yards. Most importantly, Harvey sustained drives by producing five total first downs – three rushing and two receiving.
Stock Down
Bo Nix Passing volume often correlates with offensive success, but Nix struggled to push the ball downfield despite a steady completion rate. He completed 17 of 27 passes – 63.0 percent – for 107 yards without a touchdown or interception. He took two sacks for a loss of 13 yards and finished with a 71.1 passer rating. His output fell short of his season averages across five games, where he managed only 188.4 passing yards, 5.8 yards per attempt, and an 80.8 passer rating. Against Seattle, Nix recorded just 4.0 yards per pass attempt and added only 2 rushing yards on four attempts, mirroring a broader offensive struggle that saw Denver convert just 3-of-14 third-down opportunities (21.4 percent).
J.K. Dobbins A rushing touchdown typically highlights a productive day, but Dobbins struggled to find running lanes efficiently. He rushed 17 times for 41 yards, averaging just 2.4 yards per carry, and added three receptions for 5 yards. His ground efficiency fell significantly below his five-game season average of 3.6 yards per carry, despite surpassing his typical workload of 12.8 rushing attempts per game. Outside of his score, Dobbins recorded just two first downs on his 20 total touches, struggling to keep the offense on schedule.
Denver’s defensive ability to force two interceptions and consistently generate pressure effectively masked the offense’s consistent challenges. The timely contributions from the secondary and opportunistic plays by the depth rushing attack proved critical in securing the 17-14 victory at Empower Field at Mile High.
