The Patriots had plenty of chances to win Sunday's Week 2 game against the Seahawks, but they didn't make enough winning plays late in the fourth quarter and overtime.
The Seahawks passing attack proved to be the difference. Seattle wideouts DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba combined to tally 22 receptions for 246 yards and a touchdown. New England's secondary had no answers for those two pass-catchers.
