Summary

  • New England opened 10-0 but lost to Seattle in its season opener, dropping to 0-1 after a collapse that erased an early cushion.
  • Three fourth-quarter interceptions by Drake Maye drove the turnaround, including his final throw intended for Mack Hollins.
  • Hollins summed up the response bluntly after the game: move past the defeat or risk “0 and 17.”
  • AJ Brown left in the first half with an ankle injury, and Romeo Doubs added a key fourth-quarter drop as the revamped receiving group failed to deliver.
  • The loss deepens concern about how the Patriots will handle a tougher schedule, with Pittsburgh next visiting New England on Sept. 20.
