Patriots struggle with rushing efficiency in week 1 loss to Seahawks

The New England Patriots recorded 0.07 yards rushing before contact during their week 1 game against the Seattle Seahawks. This figure falls well below the 0.5-yard floor established by any team during the previous season. Quarterback Drake Maye led the team with 47 rushing yards, while running back Rhamondre Stevenson carried 18 times for 51 yards. Corey Kiner served as the primary backup, finishing with six carries for 11 yards as the offense totaled 277 yards overall. The team now enters a preparation period before facing the Pittsburgh Steelers in their scheduled week 2 game. The lack of rushing production highlighted broader difficulties for the Patriots' offense throughout the opening matchup.
