The Seahawks just kicked off the NFL regular season with a crucial win, taking down the New England Patriots 13-10! That’s right, the Emerald City saw our boys gut out a tight, three point victory in a game that, frankly, a lot of folks might be overlooking. It was a hard fought battle, and an early season W like this sets a serious tone for what’s to come.
Early Season Statement
This 13-10 win over the Patriots is exactly the kind of gritty performance you love to see in the early weeks. It wasn’t a blowout, but pulling out a win when it’s that close against a historic franchise like New England is huge for building momentum. Every single point mattered, and our squad delivered when it counted. This kind of game proves we can scrap and come out on top, which is going to be vital as the season rolls on. We’re showing the league right away that this team isn’t backing down.
NFC Rivals Heating Up Down Under
While we’re celebrating our win here in the Pacific Northwest, the rest of the NFL action is already in full swing, with some major NFC matchups making headlines. Case in point, the San Francisco 49ers and the Super Bowl LXI favorites, the LA Rams, are hitting the gridiron Down Under on Thursday at 8:35 p.m. ET. This is a game every Seattle fan should be watching, because these are key division rivals and conference foes. The league has the Rams as a solid favorite at -200 to win, with the 49ers coming in at +165. When you talk about early season MVP candidates, Matthew Stafford, the reigning NFL MVP, is set to lead the Rams, alongside Myles Garrett, who just set the NFL single season sacks record in 2025. For the 49ers, Christian McCaffrey is always a threat. Expect some fireworks too, with the over/under set at 48.5, especially since both of their 2025 meetings featured at least 49 points, with one even needing overtime. These are the kinds of games that show us who the real contenders are going to be in the NFC, and it impacts our path forward.
