One of the best play-by-play broadcasters in American professional sports is the incredible Kevin Harlan. No matter what you are watching, the entertainment is raised exponentially if Kevin Harlan is on the call. Wednesday night's season opening game between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots was a defensive thriller, coming down to an interception in the end zone to preserve the Seattle victory.
Already, the situation was dramatic enough. The Seahawks survived losing their starting quarterback, and despite being without two starting safeties (three, if you want to count Bud Clark who was lost in the preseason) the Seattle defense was just as suffocating as ever. Seattle successfully defended home turf against the team they crushed in the Super Bowl on the night they were celebrating their championship.
Little did I know the ending was actually more exciting than it was, and I give all the credit to Kevin Harlan who was calling the game for a radio audience. Harlan's final call of Jobe's interception was actually caught on film, and the video of his epic broadcast is one that needs to be seen.
What makes this video extra entertaining is seeing members of the Patriots coaching staff in the next booth over, looking incredibly dejected.
Seattle's defense was sublime on Wednesday. They intercepted Drake Maye on all three final possessions the Patriots had. Two led directly to Seahawk points, and the third ended the rematch. Drake Maye only had one multi-interception game all last season: Super Bowl LX. Now, he begins the 2026 campaign having thrown three in the first game.
