Your Seahawks kicked off the regular season right, gritting out a hard-fought 13-10 win against the New England Patriots! What a way to start things off for Mike Macdonald’s squad. But while our guys were celebrating, there was a tough scene on the field earlier, with 49ers rookie wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling getting carted off after what looked like a nasty left ankle injury.
Tough Break For A Rival (Twice!)
Man, talk about a rough night for the 49ers, even if we were too busy celebrating our own victory. Stribling, a rookie wide receiver, injured his left ankle early in the game. With 7:16 left in the first half, we saw him pull up hard while running a route. The guy just could not put any weight on that left leg, needing help just to get to the sideline medical tent. From there, it got worse: Stribling was eventually carted straight to the X-ray room. It wasn’t long before the 49ers quickly ruled him out with that ankle injury. You never want to see a player go down like that, especially a rookie trying to make his mark. But hey, it happened in *our* game.
And Stribling wasn’t the only one feeling the pain for the 49ers. With just 2 minutes left in the first half, tight end Jake Tonges also needed help getting off the field. He couldn’t put any weight on his right leg. Two guys down for a divisional rival? That’s a brutal start to the season for them, for sure.
Your Hawks Are Off To A Winning Start!
Forget what was happening on the other sideline for a second, because our focus is right where it should be: on that 13-10 victory for the Seattle Seahawks!

Mike Macdonald’s team showed they can grind it out and find a way to win when it counts. You know the 12s were absolutely rocking the stadium, pushing our guys to that final whistle. It’s early, but getting that first W in the books provides huge momentum and confidence for the team as they look ahead.
This win is massive. It shows the league what our team is about: resilience and getting the job done, no matter what.
