The Seahawks Open Their Title Defense with a Rare Week 1 Super Bowl Rematch vs the Patriots
- On Wednesday, the Seattle Seahawks host the New England Patriots in a rare Week 1 Super Bowl LX rematch, seven months after defeating them 29-13 to claim the title.
- Coach Mike Macdonald rejected the 'running it back' mentality, urging his team to 'run it forward' into 2026. The Patriots roster features 24 new players and six new starters, led by receiver A.J. Brown.
- Retaining core talent, the Seahawks feature reigning AP Offensive Player of the Year Jaxon Smith-Njigba with 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns last season. Cornerback Devon Witherspoon remains the NFL's highest-paid at his position, earning $33 million annually.
- Containing Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, last year's MVP runner-up, remains the primary defensive challenge. The Seahawks, who allowed just 32.1% conversion on third downs last season, aim to replicate their Super Bowl defensive performance.
- Oddsmakers favor the Seahawks by 3 1/2 points as they begin the season under new ownership following the $9.6 billion sale to Sun Microsystems co-founder Vinod Khosla last month. This marks the 12th time Super Bowl participants have met the following season.
