Seahawks lead Patriots 3-0 at the end of the first quarter
Our Summary
The Seattle Seahawks initiated their third drive from their own 13-yard line following a 7-yard punt return by Rashid Shaheed. Their second drive had started at the 10-yard line after beginning the game with a touchback to the 35. During the drive, tight end AJ Barner secured a 12-yard reception from quarterback Sam Darnold on a third-and-7 situation, following two runs by Kenneth Walker totaling 6 yards. The drive faced a setback when Patriots safety Craig Woodson tackled Shaheed for a 5-yard loss on a first-down end around. Darnold then had two incomplete passes aimed at Jaxon Smith-Njigba, leading to a forced punt. After three drives, the Seahawks have achieved four first downs and converted 1-of-4 third-down attempts, accumulating a total of 65 yards compared to the Patriots' 34. Darnold completed 4 of 10 passes for 54 yards by the end of the first quarter
