The Seahawks offense got off to a slow start in Sunday’s season opener against the Broncos after the Seahawks first drive started with a sack on Geno Smith and on the very next play his pass was intercepted. The next two Seahawks offensive drives started with a false start and a holding penalty, respectively.
Seattle went into the locker room down 13-9.
Coming out of halftime of Sunday’s matchup, the messaging in the locker room from quarterback Geno Smith was, “just stay poised, stay calm.” Smith adding that, “I felt like if we just settled down, just played our game, we’d come out on top and there was no panic in the locker room. I thought everyone was poised. I thought the demeanor of the guys was great all the way throughout and it allowed us to go back into that second half and get things rolling.”
And getting things rolling meant holding the Broncos to a 3-and-out on their first drive of the third quarter, and the Seahawks putting together a 61-yard scoring drive immediately after. At the forefront of that drive was running back Kenneth Walker III who had 53 of the 61 yards on that drive, and ran the ball in for a 23-yard touchdown, Jason Meyers finished off that drive with a successful point after. Walker finished the day with 103 rushing yards and one touchdown.
