The homecoming party got spoiled for the New England Patriots by the visiting Seattle Seahawks, who eked out a 23-20 victory in overtime at Gillette Stadium on Sunday.
New England had a chance to close the deal at the top of the extra quarter, but their offense got swallowed early, leading to a game-winning drive from Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith.
The offense drove down the field on the Patriots defense and set up the game-clinching 31-yard field goal kick.
It was a valiant effort for the Patriots, but their lack of explosive plays and inability to finish drives with touchdowns hurt them.
