The Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 13-10 on Wednesday night at Lumen Field. During the fourth quarter, NBC analyst Cris Collinsworth correctly predicted a 45-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Drew Lock to Jaxon Smith-Njigba on a fourth-and-1 play. The successful score helped spark a Seattle comeback in the season opener. Lock entered the game in the first half after starting quarterback Sam Darnold sustained an injury.
