The Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos are playing a Super Bowl rematch on the NFL schedule for Week 3 and the TV coverage is from CBS as Peyton Manning visits CenturyLink Field for the matchup and it starts up at 4:25 pm ET and is the game of the week as Richard Sherman and the Legion of Boom try and bounce back from a loss to the Chargers.
Last year the Seahawks demolished the Broncos in the Super Bowl and now Denver has the chance to get some revenge. The Seahawks looked dominant against the Packers in Week 1, but on the road in San Diego last week they got beaten and the score wasn't that indicative of the game and now they have a huge rematch with Denver. Super Bowl matchups during the season after they happen are very rare in the NFL and now Peyton Manning will get a second crack at the Seahawks on Sunday.
The Broncos were behind right away in the Super Bowl last year and while the Link will be crazy with fans this time, it should be a better game for the Broncos no matter the outcome. The Super Bowl was a major disappointment for Manning and the Broncos and that is why the team went out and signed a number of players on defense in free agency.
The Seahawks have a tough schedule to start the season and they will have a break in Week 4 of the season after this game for their bye and they have a road stretch coming up now. The Seahawks opened up with the Packers and Chargers and now are 1-1 heading into the Denver Broncos matchup and after the bye, they will have three of four games on the road. The Seahawks play the Washington Redskins on Monday night football in Week 5 and then they have the Dallas Cowboys at home. The team hits the road for two games after that with the Rams and Panthers and that matchup in Carolina should be very good.
The Seahawks them play against the Raiders and the Giants at home, but they have another tough road stretch right after that. The team plays against the Chiefs on the road to start three away games in four weeks, including the 49ers and the Eagles. The team has the Arizona Cardinals in that mix as well and then after that they have a road matchup with the Cardinals again between division games with the Niners and Rams.
The Seahawks are still considered Super Bowl favorites by many and they will have another strong test with the Broncos on Sunday. The teams played once before and that was a blowout and many expect this one to be much closer.
