SEAHAWKS OPEN STRONG: Defending Champs Rally Past Patriots 13-10 in Season Opener...

The Seahawks defense that humiliated the Patriots in the Super Bowl a decade ago showed it hadn't lost its edge, forcing three interceptions in the final quarter to secure a 13-10 season-opening win—the first time these teams have met since that championship game. Seattle's task was complicated when starting quarterback Sam Darnold suffered a hip injury on the opening drive, forcing backup Drew Lock to orchestrate a second-half comeback from a 10-point deficit. Trailing late, Lock connected with receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba on a 45-yard touchdown, then watched as his defense sealed the game when Josh Jobe intercepted a desperation pass in the end zone with 21 seconds left.
