The Seattle Seahawks overcame an early hip injury to starting quarterback Sam Darnold to secure a 13-10 victory over the New England Patriots. Darnold exited the game during the opening possession, leading to Drew Lock taking over for the remainder of the contest. Lock completed 16 of 22 passes for 187 yards and a touchdown, including a 45-yard scoring play to Jaxon Smith-Njigba that tied the game in the fourth quarter.
