The Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots 13-10 in Wednesday's season opener. New England held a 10-0 lead through the third quarter but failed to score in the final period as the offense faltered. Quarterback Drake Maye threw three interceptions in the fourth quarter, including a final turnover to Josh Jobe with less than 30 seconds remaining that secured the win for Seattle. The Patriots played much of the second half without wide receiver A.J. Brown, who exited the game with an ankle injury after the Seahawks lost starting quarterback Sam Darnold to a hip injury early on. Following the loss, Shannon Sharpe criticized the play-calling and performance of Maye. The Patriots now prepare to host the Pittsburgh Steelers next week.
