The Seattle Seahawks play the Denver Broncos on Thursday in their 2014 NFL preseason opener. Kickoff is at 9:00 p.m. ET. Listen to the live radio broadcast below.
It's a Super Bowl rematch. For Denver, the usually meaningless preseason game may have a little more significance after being routed by Seattle just six months ago. Broncos coach John Fox, though, tried to play it off.
"Everybody is 0-0 because this is the 2014 season," Fox told the team website. "This is no different than any other years, like a year ago we lost to the Baltimore Ravens [in the 2012 playoff then opened the 2013 season against them]. Like I have said many times, if you don't win the last game there will be disappointment.
"That is behind us and we are so far along now with different players and different schemes that we don't think about that much."
Broncos running back Ronnie Hillman agreed with his coach, but didn't rule out Week 3 having significance.
"It doesn't count [Thursday night], so at the end of the night, nothing goes on your record," he said. "It's not a real big deal, but probably Week 3 when it's time to put the pads on and when it's counting, it'll be a bigger deal. But right now it's just a bigger way to get us out here and practice and get us ready for the season."
Fox also said the starters wouldn't play for more than one quarter.
