The Denver Broncos will play the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football in the first week of the 2020 season, but the quarterback who spent the first 10 years of his career in the Emerald City will not be there.

Wilson told reporters that it was non-emotional. You have to be able to understand that it is just a ball. I got great experience because I know that there have been amazing times there, and that I have won a lot of games there.

The crowd's reaction to Wilson will be one of the most notable storylines of the season.

There was speculation that he might want out of Seattle before he was traded to the Broncos. The future Hall of Famer would accept a trade to the Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints, Las Vegas Raiders and Chicago Bears even though he didn't officially demand a trade.

He is the greatest quarterback in the history of the Seahawks and will be a part of the Hall of Fame one day.

Wilson said that Seattle has meant the world to him over the past 10 years. It is a special place to play. I have high regard for all those guys over there.

Wilson was a nine-time Pro Bowler during his time with the Seahawks and led them to back-to-back Super Bowls. They won the first one against the Broncos franchise, which he will be under center to open the season.

Both teams will look to take the first step towards the next Super Bowl in what promises to be a memorable opening-week showdown even if Wilson is doing his best to keep the emotional aspect of the game in check.
