The Seattle Seahawks open the 2026 regular season with a 13-10 win over the New England Patriots in a dramatic Super Bowl LX rematch at Lumen Field.

On this edition of 4th & Final — Hawks Eye Seahawks Post-Game, we break down everything from Seattle’s Week 1 victory, including the biggest storyline of the night: Sam Darnold leaving the game with an injury and Drew Lock being called on to finish it.

Seattle trailed 10-0 before fighting its way back in the second half. Lock stepped into a difficult situation and delivered, connecting with Jaxon Smith-Njigba for a 45-yard fourth-quarter touchdown as the Seahawks completed the comeback. JSN finished with 8 catches for 122 yards and a touchdown, while Seattle’s defense kept the game within reach and forced three Drake Maye interceptions, including the game-sealing pick in the end zone.

We’ll break down Darnold’s injury and what it could mean moving forward, Lock’s performance off the bench, Seattle’s offensive adjustments, JSN’s huge night, and another clutch performance from Mike Macdonald’s defense.

We’ll also get into the penalties, the key turning points, game balls, stock up/stock down, and what this 1-0 start tells us about the Seahawks after Week 1.

Seattle starts the season with a win — but the quarterback situation is now the story to watch.
