Seahawks defeat Patriots 13-10 in 2026 season opener

The Seattle Seahawks overcame a 10-0 deficit to defeat the New England Patriots 13-10 on Wednesday night. New England held the early lead before Seattle scored 13 unanswered points, bolstered by a touchdown pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye struggled in the second half, throwing an interception to Josh Jobe in the end zone with 26 seconds remaining to seal the loss. Maye, playing without injured receiver A.J. Brown, accepted blame for his lack of patience during the final drive. Seattle played much of the game without quarterback Sam Darnold, who was limited to one series due to a hip injury. The Patriots now look to rebound following this narrow road loss.
