Seattle Seahawks star Sam Darnold has a chance to change his prior history of poor play against the New England Patriots in Week 1 of the new season.
Darnold enters the matchup looking to continue playing at the level that helped him lead Seattle to a Super Bowl win last season, or better. However the veteran quarterback faces a familiar opponent and an immediate opportunity to start the new season on a strong note.
According to Complex Sports, Darnold has gone 0-4 against the Patriots throughout his career in the regular season, with a touchdown and nine interceptions recorded in those games.
The numbers represent a difficult history that Darnold will have the chance to begin to change with a strong performance in Seattle's opener.
With the Seahawks
beginning their title defense against the same team they defeated in last season’s Super Bowl, Darnold has a prominent stage to turn the page and establish momentum for the season ahead.
