Alright, so while the rest of the league is dealing with their own preseason drama, we just got a wild stat drop: our Seattle Seahawks battled the Kansas City Chiefs to a 9-9 final. Yeah, you read that right. A *tie*. Nine to nine! What in the Emerald City is going on out there?
Broncos Dealing With Their Own Drama
This bonkers result comes as other teams are navigating their final preseason hurdles. Take the Denver Broncos, for example. Their wide receiver, Marvin Mims, went down early in Thursday’s game, limping off after an incomplete pass. You never wanna see that, especially with a “front-line guy” in the last week of preseason. Coach Sean Payton was quick to say after the game that Mims just has a bruised foot and is “going to be fine,” adding they were “really more just cautious with him.” He even said Mims was one of those key players they wanted to get some snaps with. But, come on, that’s gotta sting a bit. Mims already missed time this summer with another lower-body injury and didn’t even play in the first two preseason games. So, he’s barely seen the field, and now this? Doesn’t sound ideal at all.
Chiefs Still Can’t Get It Done
The good news for Denver is that this Mims injury apparently won’t keep him out of their Monday night opener against, you guessed it, those Kansas City Chiefs. And honestly, after seeing our Hawks tie the Chiefs 9-9, maybe a bruised foot isn’t the *only* thing the Chiefs should be worried about. What kind of team battles to a nine-point tie? It’s a bizarre score, and it just shows you that even supposedly strong teams can have their struggles. For us 12s, it’s a crazy early season trend to watch: the Chiefs are clearly not invincible, even if it took a bizarre tie score to really hammer that home. It makes you wonder how that Broncos/Chiefs game is gonna go down with Mims potentially back in action.
What’s Next for Our Hawks?
So, with that wild 9-9 final against the Chiefs still buzzing in our heads, we’ve got a lot to chew on. What does a tie game, especially against an AFC heavyweight like Kansas City, tell us about our team’s form right now? We’re still early in the regular season, and every game, every play, every single injury in the league has ripple effects. Meanwhile, our own Seahawks owner Khosla just drops that he’s a Steelers fan? Seriously? We bleed green and blue here, not black and gold! Let’s keep our eyes on the prize and cheer on our Hawks to ensure we’re not seeing any more ties like *that* this season.
