About this episode

Richard Sherman analyzes the Seattle Seahawks' victory over the New England Patriots, focusing on key performances and injuries.

The Seattle Seahawks opened the season with a statement win over the New England Patriots — even after Sam Darnold exited on the first drive. Richard Sherman breaks down Seattle’s resilient 13–10 victory, the defense’s three-takeaway performance, Drew Lock stepping in at quarterback, and Jackson Smith-Njigba taking over when the offense needed a spark. He also explains why Mike Macdonald’s defense gave Drake Maye so many problems, highlights huge plays from Julian Love and Josh Jobe, and reacts to the controversial calls that shaped the game. Plus: the latest on Darnold’s hip injury, what the win says about Seattle’s Super Bowl expectations, and why Patriots fans should not overreact to one difficult matchup for Drake Maye.
