The Seattle Seahawks secured a 13-10 victory against the Patriots, largely due to turnover-free football and strong special teams, despite a strange game where Drew Lock started slowly but improved significantly in the second half. Rookie Jadarian Price showed promise in the running game, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba made a crucial 45-yard touchdown catch.
