It’s week two of the 2024 NFL season, and the Seattle Seahawks are matching up with the New England Patriots… once more. No, I’m not going to say Tremendous Bowl 49 (apart from this sentence). These aren’t the identical Seahawks and Patriots. Out with the previous and in with the brand new. New, by means of the 2 first-time head coaches – Macdonald and Mayo (I already made a joke about their names, which you’ll find right here) – who additionally occur to be the 2 youngest coaches within the NFL.

Tee Higgins didn’t play for the Bengals, however Jamarr Chase did. Jamarr Chase – recent off the sofa and nonetheless brushing potato chips off his lap – was held to 62 yards and no touchdowns. Chase, after all, sat out coaching camp whereas ready for a contract extension that has but to materialize. Nonetheless, kudos to the Patriots secondary.

Rhamondre, the newly topped Patriots workhorse, carried the ball 25 occasions for 120 yards with one TD on the bottom. He additionally caught a couple of checkdowns. We’re going to want Byron Murphy and Leonard Williams to change into omelet cooks and stuff him.

What did the Seahawks do final week? Properly, we’ve written about it extensively by now, and when you’re studying this put up, you in all probability watched the sport. So, I’ll simply sum it up like this: revamped Seahawks protection good!

This week, a whopping 71% of surveyed Seahawk followers imagine that we are going to win by 1-8 factors. Fewer followers are predicting a blowout this week than final week. Which I’m on board with.

How did the Seahawks meet your expectations for week one? 55% of followers say their expectations had been precisely met. Precise is an odd phrase to make use of – as I can’t think about Seahawk followers had been predicting two safeties scored towards us within the first half, however possibly you had been!
