At this point in the NFL season, the playoff picture is starting to become more clear in both conferences as teams separate themselves from the pack.
Every year, some teams disappoint and are unable to live up to expectations, while there are other teams that exceed expectations and show they are much further along than anyone gave them a chance to be.
One of those teams this season is the Denver Broncos, who chose to part with Russell Wilson in the offseason in favor of bringing in a rookie, who turned out to be Bo Nix.
Nix, who was the sixth quarterback selected in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, has far exceeded expectations while putting the Broncos squarely in the playoff hunt in the AFC at 7-5 after defeating the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders for a second time this season.
Although the Broncos have been impressive, Kay Adams said she believes the Seattle Seahawks are the most improved team in the NFL this year.
“If you were getting a most improved little pin in a trophy to a team, maybe it’s the Broncos, you can make the claim, but I think I’d give it to Seattle from what they’ve looked like,” Adams said on “Up & Adams.”
Are the #Seahawks the MOST IMPROVED team this season???

The NFC West has been as unpredictable as any division in the league this season, with all four teams having a record of 6-5 (the Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals) or 5-6 (the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers).
As a result of back-to-back wins against San Francisco and Arizona, Seattle is now in first place in the division and has a solid chance to win the title and reach the postseason after missing out last season.
