Your Seahawks locked down a gritty 13-10 victory over the New England Patriots, kicking off this regular season by showing exactly what Mike Macdonald’s crew is made of. This wasn’t just another game, it was a statement win early in the calendar, setting a tough tone right from the jump.
Hawks Show Character in Early Season Battle
Talk about a defensive battle! That 13-10 final score tells you everything you need to know: this wasn’t some blowout, it was a grind, a fight for every single yard. But our Hawks, they stood tall. Winning tough games like this early in the season, when everyone is still figuring things out, that builds character. It tells the rest of the league that coming into the Emerald City isn’t going to be an easy walk. Every single point counted, and coming out on top in such a tight contest? That’s the kind of momentum we need right out of the gate for this new era under Coach Macdonald.
Ashton Jeanty’s Ankle Feels ‘Really Good’ Ahead of Season Opener
Speaking of players getting back into the action, there’s big news out of the AFC. Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty is set to return to the field for their season opener against the Dolphins, and you can practically feel his excitement from here. The second-year player has been sidelined with an ankle injury he picked up in practice back on August 23rd, and it looked pretty gnarly when it happened. He went down trying to reel in a low pass, and we all know how those can look worse than they are.
But Jeanty, he’s a fighter. He practiced fully again Thursday, his second time back with the squad, and he’s feeling it. He told reporters his ankle feels “really good” and he’s “super excited” to get back in the mix. He knew it wasn’t “anything too bad” right away, even though he couldn’t put pressure on it. That’s the kind of determination you love to see, knowing it wouldn’t be “too long term.” He summed it up best: “Any time away from the game, it’s tough, but to get back out there, mainly with the guys, man, it felt good.” You love to hear that passion for the game.
So, with our Seahawks proving they can win the tough ones and players across the league like Jeanty fighting their way back, the NFL regular season is already delivering. For the 12s, that 13-10 victory is a sweet taste of success and a promise of more to come. Let’s keep that energy buzzing as we move deeper into the schedule. Go Hawks!
