Seahawks hold off Patriots after early Darnold injury
Seattle secured victory over New England as former USC defenders Leonard Williams and Uchenna Nwosu produced key performances after Sam Darnold was injured in the first quarter.
The Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots after quarterback Sam Darnold suffered an injury early in the first quarter, according to a Yahoo Sports account published by Trojans Wire.
With Seattle forced to adjust, former USC defenders Leonard Williams and Uchenna Nwosu made significant contributions. Williams recorded four tackles and one sack, while Nwosu finished with five tackles, one pass deflection and two tackles for loss.
The defensive display helped Seattle contain a Patriots offence led by quarterback Drake Maye, with Rhamondre Stevenson in the backfield. The supplied account reported that Stevenson averaged 2.8 yards per carry, but did not provide a final score or further game details.
The result continued the former Trojans’ involvement in Seattle’s defensive performance, although the available material does not establish that their efforts alone determined the outcome. The nature and severity of Darnold’s injury were not provided.
