Our Hawks just delivered a classic grinder, pulling off a gritty 13-10 victory over the New England Patriots that had the Emerald City absolutely buzzing. What a way to kick off the early NFL season for Coach Macdonald’s squad! The trending chatter right now says the Pats blew that game, and honestly, seeing the final score, you gotta wonder what happened on their side. For us in Seattle, it’s all about getting that win, keeping us hyped for what’s ahead.
That 13-10 Win Had Lumen Field Electric!
Talk about a nail-biter! The Seahawks showed some serious early-season grit against New England, shutting them down to just 10 points on the board. A 13-10 final score tells you everything you need to know about how hard our boys fought for that W. Sam Darnold and the offense did enough, and the defense absolutely stepped up when it counted. Getting that kind of win so early in the schedule is a huge momentum builder, showing exactly the kind of tough football Coach Macdonald wants us playing. It’s a battle every week, and our Hawks came out on top!
A Pro Bowl Linebacker’s Son Commits to UConn
While we’re all still buzzing about the Hawks, another story is making waves in the sports world, especially for those with an eye on both college hoops and the NFL. NaVorro Bowman Jr., a top-tier Class of 2027 recruit, just committed to UConn men’s basketball. This kid is no joke: he’s the No. 11 overall player and No. 2 combo guard nationally according to 247Sports.com’s composite rankings, and On3 has him at No. 12. Oh, and here’s the kicker: his dad is none other than NaVorro Bowman Sr., the three-time Pro Bowl linebacker who tore it up for the San Francisco 49ers and even coached for the Los Angeles Chargers. Bowman Jr. and his family visited UConn over Labor Day weekend and apparently loved what they saw, because he picked them despite being scheduled for visits to Illinois and Arizona. The 6-foot-3 combo guard from Notre Dame High in Sherman Oaks, California, is a massive get for UConn.
UConn Stacks Up Talent With More Football Ties on Deck
Bowman Jr.’s commitment kicks off a busy six-week run for UConn, as they’re hosting 12 prospects. And get this: an even more highly-touted recruit, Demarcus Henry, is slated to visit Storrs this weekend. Henry is the No. 4 overall recruit in the country, per 247Sports, and he also brings a strong football connection. His older brother, Chris Jr., is a highly-regarded freshman receiver at Ohio State this fall. Plus, his father, Chris, played receiver for five seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals before passing away in a vehicular accident back in 2009. UConn is clearly trying to build something special, and they’re not afraid to go after top talent with deep athletic roots.
Our Hawks are riding high early in the season, and it’s exciting to see what Coach Macdonald cooks up next on the gridiron! Meanwhile, college basketball junkies will be watching Storrs this weekend, hoping Dan Hurley can land another massive talent in Demarcus Henry.
