FIRST HALF ANALYSIS FROM KOMO SPORTS DIRECTOR NIKO TAMURIAN:
The first half unfolded largely as anticipated, with staunch defense being a key feature. Seattle demonstrated slightly more offensive momentum. While no touchdowns were scored in the first half, the Seahawks consistently moved the ball, largely due to the strong running game of Kenneth Walker III, who amassed 94 rushing yards. This performance puts him on pace for a season high.
Sam Darnold’s passing performance was less dominant, completing 8 of 22 passes for 81 yards, but the running game proved sufficient to position Jason Myers for three successful field goal attempts, giving the Seahawks a 9-0 lead.
The Seahawks defense was relentless, recording three sacks and preventing the Patriots from mounting any significant scoring threats. Derick Hall, Devon Witherspoon, and Rylie Mills each recorded a sack.
Seattle held a 9-0 lead at halftime, and New England began the second half with possession of the ball.
