Well, the tone has been set. The Broncos forced four Seattle turnovers leading to 10 of their points, and receiver Demaryius Thomas, Denver's top draft pick, made a splash in his career debut with eight catches for 97 yards and a TD in a 31-14 victory. The Broncos (1-1) bounced back from a season opening loss with their 11th consecutive win in a home opener. Seattle (1-1) dropped its first road test under first-year head coach Pete Carroll.

o. Seattle's last turnover came on Matt Hasselbeck's third interception in the late going by Denver rookie Perrish Cox. Even so, Cox figures to get a talking to from his coaches. He was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct after the officials said he made a throat slash gesture at the end of the play.
o. The Broncos have a big lead and the fourth quarter is winding down. But Matt Hasselbeck isn't giving up. He just broke loose on a 20-yard scramble for a touchdown. The only consolation for the Seahawks, though, is that it's going to make the score somewhat more respectable. It's tough to overcome three turnovers (two interceptions and a muffed punt) and coming away with no points when they had a first and goal at the 1 in their opening possession.
o. It was quite a career debut for Demaryius Thomas, the Broncos' top draft pick who missed the entire preseason and last week's regular season opener with soreness in a surgically repaired foot that he broke in a pre-draft workout. Thomas caught Kyle Orton's second touchdown pass of the game, a 21-yarder that came with 9:11 remaining. That reception gave Thomas eight on the day for 97 yards, one shy of Eddie Royal's team record for most catches in a rookie's first game, set in 2008 against Oakland.
