The NFL saved the biggest revenge game for last in Week 1. After an offseason trade to the Denver Broncos, Russell Wilson got a chance to prove his former team, the Seattle Seahawks, made a huge mistake.

It didn't quite work out his way.

The Seahawks edged out the Broncos 17-16 in a thrilling "Monday Night Football" battle.

Wilson traveled back to Seattle, where he starred for 10 seasons, to put on a show for Seahawks fans once again — even though they booed him upon arrival.

On the other side, Geno Smith may have proved he can be a dual-threat starter.
