3 Seahawks X-Factors for Week 1 vs. Patriots

The Seattle Seahawks finally open their 2026 season on Wednesday! They'll host the New England Patriots at Lumen Field in a Super Bowl LX rematch in Week 1. The Seahawks are officially beginning their title-defending campaign. We've identified three potential x-factors for Seattle in the opener versus the Patriots.

Rookie running back Jadarian Price will make his regular-season debut. With Zach Charbonnet still sidelined, Price is expected to carry the workload in the Seahawks' backfield, with Emanuel Wilson and George Holani occasionally mixing in. It'll be a stiff test versus a stout Patriots defensive line.
