Seahawks Fall to Cowboys 17–7 in 2026 Preseason Opener

The Seattle Seahawks opened their 2026 preseason on August 15 with a 17–7 loss to the Dallas Cowboys at Lumen Field, their first game since winning last season's Super Bowl. Quarterback Drew Lock led an 80-yard opening drive and threw Seattle's only touchdown, but the Seahawks' offense struggled afterward, finishing with just 156 total yards. With several starters resting, the game focused largely on evaluating young players and roster depth. Seattle will next visit the Tennessee Titans on August 23.
