The Seahawks secured a 13-10 victory at Lumen Field, overcoming a 10-0 early deficit held by the Patriots. The game was marked by significant quarterback developments for both teams. Seattle’s starting quarterback, Sam Darnold, was ruled out after suffering a hip injury on the team’s first offensive drive following a sack by Dre’Mont Jones. While initial reports indicated Darnold did not suffer a broken bone, Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald later reported that an MRI showed the hip was intact, describing the news as “really, really good” and suggesting the injury is a muscle issue. However, reports indicate Darnold is expected to miss upcoming games. Backup Drew Lock led two late scoring drives, including a 45-yard touchdown pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba and a 26-yard field goal by Jason Myers. Lock completed 16 of 22 passes for 187 yards during the contest. The Seahawks' defense clinched the win by intercepting Patriots quarterback Drake Maye three times in the final quarter, with Nehemiah Pritchett, Julian Love, and Josh Jobe recording interceptions. Jobe’s interception in the end zone during the final minute sealed the result. Following the loss, Maye described his performance as “unacceptable,” noting that poor decisions cost the team the win. The Patriots held their 10-0 lead into halftime following a touchdown pass from Maye to rookie tight end Eli Raridon and a field goal by Andy Borregales. Additionally, Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown left the game with an ankle injury. ## Claims - Sam Darnold sustained a hip injury during the first drive of the 2026 season opener against the New England Patriots.
