Patriots OC Reflects on Past Loss Ahead of Seahawks Rematch
The New England Patriots are set to begin the 2026 season against the Seattle Seahawks, the team that previously eliminated them from Super Bowl contention. This matchup prompts reflections on the Patriots' performance during their last encounter in February at Levi’s Stadium.
In that game, the Seahawks dominated with six sacks and three turnovers, leading to a 29-13 victory. Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels took responsibility for the team's struggles, noting that the Seahawks' defensive strategies exploited weaknesses in the Patriots' offense.
McDaniels emphasized the lessons learned from that defeat, expressing optimism that this game will be different due to changes in personnel and strategy. He also mentioned left tackle Will Campbell's challenges during the previous game, citing his recovery and progress as key factors for improvement. The Patriots aim to combine coaching and execution effectively to secure a win in their upcoming match.
