Seattle Seahawks: 5 takeaways from win versus Patriots
By Jake Luppino
In their first primetime game of the season, the Seattle Seahawks shined bright picking up a 35-30 victory over the New England Patriots.
When the 2020 NFL schedule was first released, this game was immediately circled on the calendar for Seahawks fans for many reasons. First, it was our home opener of the year and I truly believe we have the best fans in football (not knowing at the time that COVID would be this drastic).
Secondly, it was a primetime game and as we have all seen under the Pete Carroll era, the Seahawks play their best football on national television. Thirdly, and most importantly, the Seahawks and Patriots always have tremendous games when they face each other.
The Seattle Seahawks were able to once again start the season 2-0, doing so in Seahawk fashion; almost causing every fan to have a heart attack in the fourth quarter. Personally, being a Seattle Seahawk fan is more than just wanting your team to win.
What being a 12 means entails signing up for one of the most emotional rollercoasters in all of American sports during a 4-quarter game are always flowing up and down, twisting and turning.
I love the exhilarating feelings spewed during a Seahawks game. That feeling of the air and life being sucked out of you comes to second to none and it is nearly always followed with a sigh of relief as the Seahawks are typically able to close out games and win. Last night was one of those games; here are my five takeaways from the Seahawks win over the Patriots.
