Joy Taylor recaps the NFL season opener where the Seahawks beat the Patriots in a defensive, Super Bowl-rematch-like slog that swung on late turnovers: Seattle lost QB Sam Darnold to a leg injury, New England’s Romeo Doubs had a key drop, and Drake May threw three interceptions, including an end-zone pick to Josh Jobe, while Seattle’s Drew Lock set up the go-ahead score; she also notes A.J. Brown left with a lower leg injury. Taylor then previews Rams-49ers in Australia, with Aaron Donald not traveling, the Niners losing DT Alfred Collins to a torn patellar tendon and dealing with more injuries (including Sam Ogbuehi), and Kyle Shanahan joking about the time change. She closes with US Open highlights: Coco Gauff’s comeback, Frances Tiafoe’s five-set rally, and Ben Shelton’s late-night upset of Carlos Alcaraz.
