Patriots Aim for Payback Against Seahawks | NFL News

0:00It's September 6th, from breaking news to Sunday matchups. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI. The Patriots are gearing up for a week one rematch against the Seattle Seahawks, and this time there's a chance for some payback. Remember last year's Super Bowl? It was a tough one for New England, and the offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels is stepping up, taking responsibility for how things went down. He basically said Seattle just outplayed them in every aspect of that game. A big part of that Super Bowl struggle was the pressure on quarterback Drake May. He was sacked a whopping six times in that single game, and honestly, the offensive line was a problem throughout the playoffs, giving up 20 sacks in total. That's a lot of hits for your quarterback. This offseason, the Patriots clearly made it a priority to fix that. They went out and got a lie, Juh, Vera Tucker in free agency, and then used their first round pick in the 2026 draft on Caleb Lomu. So the O-line should be looking a lot stronger this year.

1:01Beyond the line, they've also added some serious talent on offense. They traded for AJ. Brown and signed Romeo Dubs, which she give May some much better targets to throw to. It feels like the team is much more put together now compared to how they were at the Super Bowl. So, when September 9th rolls around, and the Patriots kick off against the Seahawks at 820 PM Eastern, fans have got to feel a little more. It's so optimistic. Getting that win and some early revenge could really set the tone for their season. It's definitely going to be interesting to see how they match up.
