- Broncos Snap Counts Show Kris Abrams-Draine Holding His Corner Job as Riley Moss Eases Back
Riley Moss was back in the starting lineup for the Denver Broncos on Thursday night, but Kris Abrams-Draine got the snaps. Abrams-Draine played 65 of 85 defensive snaps, according to PFF, in a 17-14 overtime win over Seattle in front of the home crowd, while Moss played 20.
Moss returned from a rib injury after sitting out Week 5, and Abrams-Draine kept the job he held against the Chargers. He was targeted 14 times and allowed eight catches, per PFF, but he also broke up three passes and intercepted Sam Darnold with 1:31 left in regulation. Jahdae Barron again played every snap, as he did in Week 5.

J.K. Dobbins played 31 snaps (52 percent) to RJ Harvey's 24 (40 percent), close to Week 5's 32-23 split. Dobbins handled 17 of the 27 run plays, per PFF, and carried 17 times for 41 yards .
The receivers shifted. Lil'Jordan Humphrey started in the slot and played 17 snaps, matching his total through the first five games, while Troy Franklin slipped from 39 snaps (63 percent) against the Chargers to 31 (52 percent). Courtland Sutton (77 percent) and Jaylen Waddle (65 percent) led the group on a night the offense managed just 168 total yards .

At tight end, Adam Trautman out-snapped Evan Engram 33 to 31 a week after they split 30 apiece. Nate Adkins added 22, 14 of them as a run blocker, with Denver leaning on heavier looks around a struggling Bo Nix .
Taylor Rapp fills in for Talanoa Hufanga
Taylor Rapp spent the first five weeks on the practice squad. Denver called Rapp up Thursday after ruling out Talanoa Hufanga (ankle), who had played 321 of 347 defensive snaps through five games, and Rapp played 65 snaps, according to PFF. He worked mostly in coverage, made four tackles and three assists without a miss and earned a 70.6 grade.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported Hufanga could miss two or three weeks , making the eighth-year veteran the likeliest fill-in against Arizona on Oct. 25. Devon Key started at free safety but played 29 snaps, and Brandon Jones never came off the field.
Denver sacked Darnold five times and generated 42 pressures, per PFF. Malcolm Roach, Quandarrius Robinson and Jonah Elliss had six pressures apiece, and Robinson's workload climbed from 32 snaps in Week 5 to 43. Alex Singleton played all 85 snaps and posted a 90.5 grade before Ja'Quan McMillian's interception in overtime set up the winner.
