Carragher Reflects on Harsh Casemiro Comments Two Years Later
The Seattle Seahawks will kick off the 2026 NFL season against the New England Patriots, the same team they defeated in the Super Bowl. Sam Darnold leads the Seahawks as they aim to defend their championship title.
The Seattle Seahawks capped an impressive 2025 season with an even more impressive postseason run. The Seahawks and Sam Darnold will enter this season as defending champions. Many USC Trojans on this squad will be defending their title belt.
The Seahawks will host the season opener against the same team they dominated in February to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. The New England Patriots will look different, however. Come week 1 they should have A.J. Brown on the outside at receiver.
The Seahawks will still have USC Trojans Leonard Williams, Brandon Pili, and Uchenna Nwosu getting their chance to wreak havoc on Drake Maye, just like they did in the Super Bowl. Maybe even former USC teammates Sam Darnold and Uchenna Nwosu both will find the endzone again.
The Seahawks have lost some pieces this season, like Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker, as he left to join the Chiefs. However, this team is still fueled by its USC Trojans. Sam Darnold is looking to show that this past season was no fluke and that he and the Seahawks still control the NFC. They can make a huge statement on opening day by knocking off the AFC contender, the Patriots.
The Seattle Seahawks will face the New England Patriots in their 2026 season opener.
The New England Patriots are expected to have A.J. Brown as a new receiver for the 2026 season.
Kenneth Walker's departure to the Chiefs leaves a gap in the Seahawks' roster, but they still rely on their strong USC Trojans core.
