Week 6 of the 2026 NFL season kicks off Thursday night with the Seattle Seahawks visiting the Denver Broncos (8:15 p.m. ET, Prime Video). It’s fair to call this a possible Super Bowl preview. Both teams were the No. 1 seeds going into last year’s postseason and hosted their respective conference title games. The Broncos lost that game with starting quarterback Bo Nix sidelined, while the Seahawks advanced and then won Super Bowl LX.
Both teams come into this matchup with a 3-2 record, needing a win to keep pace with undefeated teams in front of them — the 5-0 San Francisco 49ers in the NFC West and the 4-0 Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West. Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is coming off a two-interception game against the 49ers, so there is pressure on him to bounce back from that.
The Seahawks are actually 2.5-point favorites in Denver. So…
