Sam Darnold and the Seattle Seahawks will face New England Patriots for the 2026 season kickoff game.
That is on Wednesday on NBC and Peacock.
Make sure to check that out.
And to me, I know the Super Bowl wasn't the best Super Bowl we've had in recent years.
A 29 to 13 final score that's probably even closer in the actual score than it was in real life if you were watching it.
But I'm still very excited to see this rematch, as we all should be, especially because I think the Patriots could have the great equalizer here.
Going into the Super Bowl, the talk of the town was that they just didn't have the horses to keep up with this awesome Seattle defense.
It's 100% true.
They did not have the skill position players, the receivers, to really contend with an awesome Seattle defense that just frankly shut them down.
To me, assuming A.J.
Brown is on this team, which all reports say he will be on this team, I think that could give Seattle at least more problems than the skill position core the Patriots did in the Super Bowl.
It certainly can't give them less problems.
So I think that could be the great equalizer.
Two other storylines I want to note, especially for fantasy purposes, are these backfields.
I want to watch out for Jadarian Price, Seattle's number 32 overall pick.
His workload, is it an RB1 workload?
Is it just between the tackles work?
Is it even less than that?
I'm very excited to see.
And on the other side, another backfield note, can Trevion Henderson push for Mondre Stevenson for more touches?
To stay up to date on these storylines and everything else going on, stay locked to Rotoworld all summer.
