Tonight, the Emerald City lights up like a supernova because we’re not just kicking off the 2026 NFL season, we’re unfurling our second championship banner at Lumen Field. And who do we get to do it against? None other than the New England Patriots, in a Super Bowl 60 rematch that’s got the whole league buzzing.
Super Bowl Rewind, Then Run It Back!
Man, it feels like seven months ago we were watching our Seahawks defense absolutely shut down the Patriots in Super Bowl 60. Tonight, they get to see that banner go up right before they have to face Mike Macdonald’s loaded defense again. Remember last season? Both these teams started 0-1, but then went on a crazy run, combining for a ridiculous 28-2 record the rest of the way. We know a Week 1 loss isn’t the end of the world, but there’s no way our guys want to start this season with anything less than a victory, especially at home.
Jadarian Price Is About To EAT!
While the Patriots are out there hoping Drake Maye and his new weapons A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs can finally crack our D, we’ve got some new blood making waves ourselves. The biggest change for us came in the backfield. We lost Kenneth Walker III in free agency, which stings, but Zach Charbonnet is still recovering from a major knee injury, which means it’s time for first-round pick Jadarian Price to step up. This kid is expected to be featured heavily against a tough Patriots defense tonight. Talk about a trial by fire! We know he’s ready to put in work, and that boisterous Lumen Field crowd is gonna be roaring for him.
This game is more than just an opener. It’s a statement. It’s about setting the tone for what’s going to be a hotly contested divisional race this season. Catch all the action tonight at 5:20 p.m. PT on NBC with Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth on the call, or stream it live on fubo, DIRECTV, or Peacock. Let’s show the Patriots what true champions look like, Seattle! Go Hawks!
