The Seattle Seahawks triumphed over the New England Patriots 23-20 in overtime, with a pivotal pass interference call igniting controversy. Patriots cornerback Jonathan Jones was flagged for pass interference on Seahawks receiver Tyler Lockett during the overtime period, a decision Jones felt was unwarranted. Lockett himself allegedly agreed with Jones on the non-penalty.
The foul led to a crucial 20-yard advantage for the Seahawks, enabling them to secure a field goal that clinched the win. Despite the loss, the Patriots had opportunities to take the game, including a blocked field goal attempt late in the fourth quarter.
Looking ahead, the Patriots will need to regroup quickly as they face the New York Jets on Thursday night.
