Seahawks defeat Patriots 13-10 in NFL season opener

The Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 13-10 on Wednesday night at Lumen Field in a rematch of Super Bowl LX. Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold exited the game with a hip injury after only five plays, leaving backup Drew Lock to lead the offense. New England failed to capitalize on the quarterback change, struggling to gain momentum as the offense appeared ineffective. Patriots receiver A.J. Brown also left the game due to an ankle injury. The game remained close until a late interception thrown by Maye to Josh Jobe sealed the outcome for Seattle. Head coach Mike Vrabel faced immediate criticism from fans and observers for the Patriots' offensive play-calling throughout the contest.
