Patriots at Seahawks: Super Bowl LX, again, and the season has not started
Seattle won Super Bowl LX 29-13 on 8 February. Kenneth Walker III was MVP. Tomorrow night they host New England again.
Why this one matters: as of 8 September 2026 the NFL regular season has not kicked a ball. Preseason ended 29 August. The first snap is tomorrow in Seattle, and it is the Super Bowl again.
Super Bowl LX, 8 February, Levi's Stadium: Seahawks 29-13 Patriots. Walker 135 rushing yards, first running-back MVP since Terrell Davis in 1998. Jason Myers five field goals, a Super Bowl record, first 200-point scorer in NFL history. Sam Darnold 19/38, 202 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT. Drake Maye 27/43, 295, 2 TD, 2 INT, sacked six times. Uchenna Nwosu returned a fumble 45 yards for a touchdown. Seattle's second title, Mike Macdonald's second-year team, the Dark Side defence.
Kickoff is Wednesday because Labor Day fell as late as it can. That is the calendar. The story is the rematch.
