Seahawks ‘turn the page’ from Super Bowl with Patriots rematch on tap
The Seahawks will celebrate their Super Bowl title before facing a Patriots team that rebuilt its receiver group and offensive line.
- On Wednesday, the Seattle Seahawks open the 2026 NFL season at Lumen Field with a Super Bowl LX rematch against the New England Patriots, commemorating their championship victory with a banner drop ceremony.
- Head coach Mike Macdonald's Seahawks defeated the Patriots 29-13 in February's Super Bowl LX; Macdonald's philosophy focuses on creating an entirely new story in 2026 rather than defending the title.
- The Patriots revamped their receiver corps, cutting Stefon Diggs and adding A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs, while trading center Garrett Bradbury to the Bears and signing Jared Wilson.
- Seattle's secondary faces uncertainty regarding safety Nick Emmanwori, who is recovering from July ankle surgery, with only three safeties—Love, Okada, and Emmanwori—on the 53-man roster.
- Repeating as Super Bowl champions is a rare feat, accomplished only nine times since 1967, and defensive lineman Leonard Williams noted players are focusing on "what's next" following their June ring ceremony.
