With the Seahawks' 13-10 win in the NFL Kickoff Game, the defending Super Bowl champ is now 18-4 in the NFL's season opener since the tradition was started in 2004, including the last 3 straight. The last defending champ to lose in the opener was the Chiefs in 2023, when they lost to Detroit, 21-20.

@rockyshotsofv @ProGridSports @OzzyNFL @RCDiscussion @schedulerelease I kept them in, just have them taking a step back.

@ProGridSports Makes sense. I've only been to one game in Miami...in December...and it was unbearably hot AF. Can't imagine September. And if you're supporting the visiting team for a day game you're in the direct sun. There is a crazy temp differential between the home and away sidelines.
