Super Bowl 2026 Seahawks vs. Patriots score, live updates: Seattle takes lead over New England after FG on opening drive
In last year’s Super Bowl, neither team scored on the opening possession. The Eagles’ opening drive stalled after an offensive pass interference nullified a 32-yard gain. The Chiefs mustered only 12 yards on their opening drive. It was a slow start in a game that totaled 62 points. So, the Seahawks are already ahead of the way last year’s game opened.
Saquon Barkley was animated on the sideline after that drive to keep the teammates from getting discouraged.
โHey, hey, chill! Chill!โ he said, while holding his hands to an even position. โStay right here! Who cares? Who cares? Stay right here! Stay right here!โ
