Wilson's debut with the Broncos on Monday Night Football against the Seahawks was a close game, ending with a 17-16 victory for the Seahawks. The Broncos' kicker, Brandon McManus, missed a crucial 64-yard field goal, leading to the Seahawks winning.
The Broncos' rookie coach, Nathaniel Hackett, faced criticism for his decisions, especially choosing a field goal over trying to get a first down. Denver had a disappointing season, finishing 5-12 despite having a strong defense.
Hackett was fired after a 4-11 record, and many blamed him for Denver's struggles and Wilson's decline. Adding to the woes, the Broncos lost the fifth pick in the 2023 NFL Draft to Seattle in the Wilson trade.

Surprisingly, the Seahawks, expected to perform poorly, ended the season with a 9-8 record, making the playoffs but losing in the Wild Card Game to the San Francisco 49ers.
Looking back at the Broncos-Seahawks history, the 2022 season left a mark with Wilson's move to the Broncos. It was a season of change, with Denver facing a rebuild and Seattle defying expectations.
In the end, the 2022 NFL season showed how unpredictable sports can be, leaving both Denver and Seattle at a turning point, one seeking resurgence and the other proving resilience in the face of doubt.
