SEATTLE — Old habits die hard. That was the case for the Broncos’ defense on Sunday.Denver played inspiring defense in the first half, recording an interception and two safeties, only to see that effort come crashing down on the Seahawks’ first drive of the third quarter.In six plays, Seattle ripped off 66 yards, culminating with running back Kenneth Walker cutting right, shedding tackles from inside linebacker Alex Singleton and cornerback Riley Moss and leaping into the end zone for a 23-yard touchdown.The Broncos vowed to improve their run defense this offseason after being among the worst in the league last…

Bo Nix’s Sunday in Seattle featured a dream start and a nightmare debut. Life comes at you fast in the regular season. On the second snap of his career, Nix walked to the line of scrimmage just 11 yards from the end zone thanks to an Alex Singleton interception and run-back and then a 9-yard rumble from Javonte Williams on first down. By the last snap of the afternoon — ironically a 4-yard Nix touchdown run — Denver’s offense had not only squandered too many opportunities and struggled mightily in almost every critical department against the Seahawks in a 26-20…

SEATTLE — Bo Nix became Boo Nix. He was not the Brees Knees.None of this was particularly surprising given the time and place. Rookie quarterbacks are now 4-15 at Lumen Field. And in his debut, Nix looked spooked and was too often off target before providing hope with a nervy fourth-quarter drive that made the final score more palatable.It was unsettling but predictable and understandable.What was not was Sean Payton’s performance. As long as Payton works in Denver, he will be shadow-boxing his championship past. It will be used to judge him.And Sunday Payton wasn’t good enough, making too many…
