Seahawks Intercept Maye Three Times, Edge Patriots 13-10

The Seattle Seahawks overcame an early hip injury to starting quarterback Sam Darnold and defeated the New England Patriots 13-10 in the season opener. Backup Drew Lock guided two late scoring drives, while Seattle’s defense intercepted Patriots quarterback Drake Maye three times after New England had built a 10-3 lead. Jaxon Smith-Njigba scored the decisive touchdown, and Josh Jobe sealed the victory with a late interception in the end zone with New England threatening to tie or win. Maye’s turnovers, including throws into double coverage and the final ill-fated pass intended for Mack Hollins, overshadowed an otherwise competitive performance by the Patriots.
