The Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 13-10 in the NFL season opener, with their defense intercepting Patriots quarterback Drake Maye three times, including a decisive pick in the end zone by Josh Jobe in the final seconds of the fourth quarter to seal the win.

The victory came at a cost. Sam Darnold, the Seahawks' starting quarterback, suffered a hip injury during the game and will miss an undetermined length of time, per Field Gulls. Yahoo Sports reported that the Seahawks secondary picked off Maye three times in the fourth quarter specifically, describing the win as "thrilling but possibly pyrrhic."

The game marked a rematch of Super Bowl 60 between the two teams. Field Gulls noted the Seahawks started their title defense in the win column despite having a banged-up secondary. One separate injury from the contest—involving A.J. Brown—was reported as relevant to the Philadelphia Eagles, per Yahoo Sports.
