Part of the reason why the NFL remains king in this country is its inherent unpredictability, which is on full display in Foxboro, MA this morning. The Seattle Seahawks are taking on the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium, and many opined this would be a defensive slugfest.
Well, neither team is having much difficulty against either defense. After both New England and Seattle punted on their opening possessions, the fireworks have commenced.
The Patriots took their second drive of the game 60 yards in eight plays to claim an early 7-0 lead, thanks to former UW receiver Ja'Lynn Polk.
