Seahawks Rally Past Patriots with Late Interceptions in Thrilling Super Bowl Rematch
Summary
Backup quarterback Drew Lock showcased his skills by leading two crucial scoring drives, helping the Seattle Seahawks pull off a stunning comeback against the New England Patriots, winning 13-10 on Wednesday night in a highly-anticipated Super Bowl rematch.
The game started with a ceremony celebrating the raising of the Super Bowl banner, but quickly turned worrisome for the Seahawks as starter Sam Darnold suffered a hip injury on the opening drive. This left Lock to step in, but the offense struggled, managing only a field goal through three quarters.
In a dramatic fourth quarter, Drake Maye, last season’s MVP runner-up, threw three interceptions, flipping the momentum in Seattle's favor. Key moments included:
- Lock connecting with Jaxon Smith-Njigba on a 45-yard touchdown pass on fourth-and-1, tying the game after an interception by Nehemiah Pritchett.
- Julian Love intercepting Maye shortly after, setting up a 26-yard field goal by Jason Myers, giving the Seahawks a 13-10 lead.
Despite trailing 10-0, the Seahawks capitalized on the Patriots' mistakes, including a roughing the punter penalty that aided New England's second score—a two-yard touchdown pass from Maye to rookie Eli Raridon.
Ultimately, Josh Jobe sealed the victory with a toe-tapping interception in the end zone, ensuring the Seahawks could celebrate their comeback in front of a jubilant home crowd. This encounter marked the third Super Bowl rematch in Week 1, echoing the last occurrence in 2016.
