Here we go again... A Seahawks Dynasty? Week 3 Preview 
Posted on October 15, 2014 at 02:39 PM.

The Seattle Seahawks return home for the much anticipated Super Bowl rematch with the Denver Broncos. This game has lost a little bit of it's luster with Seattle's star QB Russell Wilson going down to injury last week in San Diego, but it will make no difference to the Broncos, who are longing to put "43-8" behind them, and face the demons of last years super bowl debacle at the hands of these Seahawks.

Players to Watch

Offense:


Peyton Manning - QB: I dont know if any one player's legacy has taken a bigger hit, than Peyton Manning's did in Super Bowl 48. Make no mistake about it though, he is still the best QB in the game, and one of the greatest of all time. He will be out for revenge in this one.

Defense:


Aqib Talib - CB: Talib was Denver's big offseason signing along with DeMarcus Ware. The Broncos realized they needed a more physical presence after the Super Bowl loss and Talib is at the forefront of that movement.

Prediction: Obviously the dynamic of this game has changed greatly over the past week with the Wilson injury. Seattle should still be able to run the ball effectively and keep the game close. If they can dominate time of possession and the defense can make a play they have a shot in this one, but with Wilson sidelined, it's pretty hard to make a case for Tarvaris Jackson out dueling Peyton Manning. Broncos 27, Seahawks 17
