The 2026 NFL season kicked off with our Seattle Seahawks gutting out a 13-10 thriller against the New England Patriots, setting the tone for what looks like an absolutely wild Week 1.
Our Hawks Snag a W
Man, that opener against the Patriots started slow, didn’t it? Felt like forever to get going. But then, BOOM! The excitement we needed to get us back into NFL football. Our boys showed grit, battling for that 13-10 final score. A win is a win, especially in Week 1, and it feels good to start the season in the W column.
The League’s Unrelenting Schedule
And just when you catch your breath from the Hawks’ game, the NFL schedule hits you like a Mack truck. This week’s slate is absolutely stacked with bona fide bangers. Thursday night’s got a HUGE NFC West showdown happening all the way in Australia: the San Francisco 49ers vs. the Los Angeles Chargers. That’s two potential Super Bowl contenders duking it out in a critical divisional game, seriously! Then “Sunday Night Football” brings the historic rivalry of the Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Giants. And if that wasn’t enough, the week wraps up with another monster: the Denver Broncos vs. Kansas City Chiefs, pitting two AFC Super Bowl contenders against each other. Even the Packers vs. Vikings NFC North bout and the Ravens vs. Colts Battle for Baltimore are happening in between all that. Talk about no deficit of highly entertaining matchups!
