Quarterback Jalen Milroe was the star of the show, throwing for 277 yards and four touchdowns, connecting effectively with his receivers. Elijah Arroyo was a key target, racking up 104 receiving yards to help push the Seahawks' offense. Meanwhile, Drake Maye provided a bright spot for New England, rushing for 126 yards, but it wasn't enough to spark a comeback.
