Northwest Sports Update Seahawks resign key o-lineman, NFL season kicks off, Mariners continue rocky road play and more

The Seattle Mariners experienced a tough loss to the Tampa Bay Rays, falling 9-4 and marking their fifth defeat in six games during a challenging road trip. Pitcher George Kirby's performance was particularly disappointing, as he allowed eight runs in just two innings. Julio Rodriguez provided a glimmer of hope with a 3-run homer, but it was not enough to prevent a series sweep. Meanwhile, the Seattle Seahawks secured a three-year, $46 million extension for right tackle Abraham Lucas, who has struggled with injuries, playing only 13 games over the past two seasons. The NFL season kicked off with the Philadelphia Eagles facing the Dallas Cowboys, with the Eagles expected to contend for another championship.

Coverage for the NFL game began at 4:00 PM, leading up to the kickoff at 5:20 PM. The Mariners will aim to improve their performance in their next series against the Braves. Seattle sports teams are striving for better outcomes as they navigate their respective seasons.
