Foxboro, MA – The **Seattle Seahawks** are aiming for a **2-0 start** under their new head coach, Mike Macdonald, as they gear up to face off against the **New England Patriots** this Sunday. After a solid victory against the **Denver Broncos** at their home ground, the Seahawks are hitting the road for the first time this season.
The Seahawks showcased a powerful performance last week, but this upcoming game presents a different challenge. The Patriots, also **1-0**, pulled off a surprising win against the **Cincinnati Bengals** in their opening match. Their defense was stellar, limiting star quarterback **Joe Burrow** and his team to just ten points. Meanwhile, New England’s running back, **Rhamondre Stevenson**, rushed for over **100 yards** and scored a touchdown, playing a key role in their upset win.
As both teams prepare for battle, fans can expect a tense, low-scoring matchup given the strength of both defenses. Another intriguing angle is the contest between rookie head coaches. Macdonald is stepping into big shoes after taking over from longtime coach **Pete Carroll**, while **Jerod Mayo**, who played under **Bill Belichick**, is now leading the Patriots.
The Seahawks are currently **3.5-point favorites** heading into the game, with the over/under set at a low **38.5 points**. Fans can catch the game live on **FOX at 10 am PT** on Sunday, with commentary from Kenny Albert, Jonathan Vilma, and sideline reporter Megan Olivi.
In the meantime, the Seahawks are dealing with some injury issues, as George Fant and Tyrel Dodson did not practice on Wednesday. Additionally, linebacker **Uchenna Nwosu** is recovering from an MCL sprain sustained during the preseason against the **Cleveland Browns**.
As Seattle aims to begin the season with two consecutive victories under Macdonald, excitement builds among the fans. Will they be celebrating another win, or can the Patriots continue their surprising run? We’ll find out soon!
