First downs & scoring opportunities

UPDATED Updated Oct 4, 2026, 10:47 am EDT
NE at SEA · Week 1 · Completed-game play record
StatisticNESEA
First downs (play record)1913
Third-down conversions5 / 16 (31.3%)2 / 11 (18.2%)
Fourth-down conversions2 / 2 (100.0%)1 / 1 (100.0%)
Touchdowns / inside-20 drives1 / 2 (50.0%)0 / 2 (0.0%)

Conversions count recorded successful and failed attempts; punts, field goals and nullified downs do not become attempts just because they occur on fourth or third down. First downs count the play record's total, including recorded penalty awards; these can differ from drive-summary counts. An incomplete play record withholds the affected count. Zero opportunities have no percentage.

Inside-20 counts drives where a recorded down starts closer than 20 yards from the opponent's goal line. Reaching only the 20-yard line is excluded. The numerator counts those drives ending in a touchdown for the possessing team, excluding opponent return touchdowns. This is not a count of every touchdown or an official league red-zone ranking.

Game recap

Postgame analysis: three late takeaways turn Seattle’s opener

The Seattle Seahawks recovered from a 10-point deficit to beat the New England Patriots 13–10 at Lumen Field on September 9, 2026. The defining stretch came in the fourth quarter, when Seattle intercepted Drake Maye on each of New England’s final three possessions.

One fourth down changed the scoring picture

Nehemiah Pritchett’s interception and 30-yard return gave Seattle the ball at its own 33 while trailing 10–3. Drew Lock then led a five-play, 67-yard touchdown drive. Its decisive snap was fourth-and-one from the New England 45: instead of merely extending the possession, Lock found Jaxon Smith-Njigba for the entire remaining distance. The extra point tied the game.

Julian Love intercepted Maye on the next Patriots possession, setting up an eight-play drive and Jason Myers’ 26-yard field goal. New England still had 5:50 to respond and converted two fourth downs on its last drive. Josh Jobe ended that threat with an end-zone interception, leaving Seattle 21 seconds to close out the win.

The defense bought time for Lock

Lock handled most of Seattle’s passing work after Sam Darnold left during the opening possession. He completed 16 of 22 attempts for 187 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. Smith-Njigba accounted for eight catches and 122 yards, giving the Seahawks a reliable outlet before supplying their only touchdown.

Seattle converted just two of 11 third downs and committed 10 penalties for 98 yards. Those figures explain why the comeback required more than ordinary offensive efficiency. The Seahawks gave themselves repeated chances by protecting the ball and taking it away, finishing with a 3–0 turnover advantage despite New England holding possession for 34:17. For the Patriots, the lost opportunity was specific: a second-half lead and a late drive into scoring territory both disappeared through interceptions.
