Seahawks beat Patriots as fans request Russell Wilson return following Darnold injury

The Seattle Seahawks secured a victory against the New England Patriots in a Wednesday game defined by an early injury to starting quarterback Sam Darnold. Darnold left the field during the opening drive and did not return, forcing backup Drew Lock into the game. Lock recorded 187 passing yards and one touchdown to help secure the win. Following the contest, head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed that Darnold avoided a hip fracture, though his timeline for returning to play remains unspecified. In the wake of the injury, some supporters turned to social media to urge retired quarterback Russell Wilson to rejoin the team. Wilson, who moved to a broadcasting role at CBS Sports after retiring earlier this season, remains a point of focus for fans concerned about the quarterback situation during Darnold's absence.
