With four minutes remaining, the Broncos went to work, but they stopped due to a combination of poor execution and poor time management.

Rather than handing the ball to Wilson in the fourth and fifth games, coach Nathaniel Hackett ran the clock for 40 seconds before sending McManus out.

"They put me right there, so I was prepared and knew we were going to kick it," McManus explained.

McManus, who is 60 yards ahead in his career, said. "It's definitely fantastic to have faith in me enough to put me out on 64,

The Broncos attempted a field goal, a fourth-place rumble, a red field rumble, and another field goal.

First down: Williams lost four yards when Wilson flipped a throw to him while under pressure. Two Seattle players were injured, thus the clock stopped at 1:13.

Wilson throws incomplete on second down after failing to pump the fake football. The time is 1:11.

Wilson tosses Williams to the left flat on third down, and Williams gains nine yards in the Seahawks' 46.
