  "account": "The Seattle Seahawks have unveiled their captains for the upcoming Week 1 matchup against the New England Patriots. Unlike many NFL teams, the Seahawks do not appoint season-long captains; instead, they rotate weekly groups for this role. On Monday evening, the team unveiled their inaugural captains for the season's first game. The announced quartet includes Sam Darnold, quarterback Ernest Jones IV, linebacker Brady Russell, and fullback Leonard Williams. The decision was announced on the Seahawks' official social media platforms. The Seahawks are set to host the Patriots at Lumen Field on Wednesday night at 5:20 pm, with the game to air nationally on NBC. This will mark a Super Bowl rematch between the two teams, a first in over a decade. The Seahawks Wire will provide a weekly update on the newly selected captains for each game. This report was originally published on Seahawks Wire: Seahawks announce 4 captains for Week 1 game vs New England Patriots.",
