The Seahawks are back tomorrow as they look to rebound from a tough loss on a short week.

Seattle’s coming off a three-point loss to the 49ers that put them two games behind San Francisco in the race for the NFC West. They’ll look to make up ground against a Broncos team that owns an identical 3-2 record after their win over the Chargers.
The ‘Hawks will aim to take advantage of a banged-up Broncos secondary that will be missing star cornerback Pat Surtain and starting safety Talanoa Hufanga.
