Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots in their season opener on September 9, 2026. New England Patriots acquired wide receiver A.J. Brown from their previous coach Mike Vrabel. The team's young quarterback, Drake Maye, teamed up with Brown. However, during the third quarter of the game against the Seahawks, Brown suffered an ankle injury and left the game.
Before the injury, Brown had been the leading receiver for the Patriots, with three catches for 26 yards. Brown was also targeted on a flea-flicker in the first half, resulting in a defensive pass interference penalty that led to the first touchdown of the season. Brown has been ruled questionable to return for the next game, and the story is still developing.
