Drew Lock leads Seattle Seahawks to victory after Sam Darnold hip injury

The Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots in the season opener on Wednesday night following a quarterback change. Starter Sam Darnold exited the game during the opening drive after sustaining a hip injury and did not return. Drew Lock, who did not take any practice snaps throughout the week, entered the game and threw one touchdown pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Two field goals added to the Seattle total to finalize the win. Head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed that while the team awaits further details on the severity of the injury, Darnold did not suffer a hip fracture. The Seahawks now look toward an upcoming game against the Arizona Cardinals as the team assesses the status of its quarterback room.
