On a Wednesday night in Seattle, what began as a Super Bowl rematch and a banner ceremony became something more instructive: a lesson in how fragile momentum can be, and how quickly a team's story can be rewritten by injury, error, and resilience. The Seahawks lost their starting quarterback on the opening drive yet found a way to win, not through dominance but through patience and the quiet accumulation of another team's mistakes. In the larger arc of sport and human endeavor, this opener reminds us that preparation for adversity is itself a form of strength.
