A field goal attempt by the Broncos from 64 yards that failed by one inch sealed the defeat. After ten years with the Seahawks, Wilson had 340 yards in his first NFL game for his new team, but only managed to hit a touchdown and failed several times with the Broncos close to goal. His successor Geno Smith pulled out two touchdown passes and was also left without an interception.
In Seattle, Wilson was mostly greeted with boos and whistles. His successor has often given Seattle fans a reason to celebrate with smart decisions and put the home team ahead with a good attack and first touchdown pass. At 10:10, the Broncos still managed to equalize, but they lost seemingly safe points twice by losing the ball at the opponent’s yard line.
The decision of new Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett to attempt a long range basket and not let Wilson use the remaining time has caused a lack of understanding in the US media.
