Who plays on 'Monday Night Football' tonight? Time, TV channel, schedule for NFL Week 1 game – Sporting News

The first week of the 2022 NFL season is just about in the books. Only one game up left: Broncos vs. Seahawks. Russell Wilson will be making his Broncos’ debut in the familiar confines of Lumen Field in Seattle against the Seahawks, the team of which he spent the first 10 seasons of his career. On the other side, the Seahawks are going to be looking to begin its first season without Wilson under center since 2011, the year before he was drafted. They’ll be sending out his backup over the past several seasons, Geno Smith, to be the starter. LIVE: Follow Broncos vs. Seahawks on ‘Monday Night Football’ Here is everything you need to know about the matchup, including times, channels and streaming information. The Broncos are coming into this season with lofty expectations. Denver has finished last in back-to-back seasons, and has not posted a winning season since 2016, the first year with Trevor Siemian as the team’s quarterback. With Wilson, everything changes. Now, a strong receiving duo of Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy, as well as running backs Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams have a signal-caller that should effectively lead the offense. Couple that with a defense that was one of the best in the league a season ago, this team is expected to be back in playoff contention quickly. Meanwhile in Seattle, the Seahawks are preparing for what could be a painful 2022 without Wilson under center. Despite still boasting the one-two punch of Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf, the defense has taken a step back due to several key losses, and the offense certainly will see a steep dip in production after losing its quarterback. The first “Monday Night Football” game of the year will be back in the same time slot as last year, with the scheduled start at 5:30 p.m. ET. “Monday Night Football” returns to ESPN, but this time with some new voices.
