In a dominant performance, the Seattle Seahawks topped the New England Patriots 31-6 in their season opener, setting the tone for what they hope will be a strong campaign in 2026. With both teams looking to establish momentum early, the Seahawks showcased their offensive prowess while the Patriots struggled to find their rhythm. 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. Defensively, the Seahawks were relentless, with DeMarcus Lawrence leading the charge by recording 2.5 sacks, putting consistent pressure on the Patriots' offense. The turning point came in the second quarter when Seattle's defense stifled a potential New England scoring drive, allowing the Seahawks to maintain their momentum and ultimately secure a convincing victory.
