SEATTLE — Kenneth Walker III rushed for 84 of his 103 yards and a touchdown in the second half and the Seattle Seahawks overcame a mistake-filled first half to beat the Denver Broncos 26-20 in the debut of new coach Mike Macdonald. Walker sparked a second-half rally after an unsightly performance by Seattle's offense over the first 30 minutes littered with sloppy miscues. The Broncos led 13-9 at the half thanks in part to two safeties. Walker scored on a 23-yard TD run in the third quarter and Geno Smith hit Zach Charbonnet on a 30-yard TD pass. Bo Nix ran for a TD in his debut for Denver, but threw two interceptions.
