Doubs Takes Blame for Costly Drop in Patriots Loss

Romeo Doubs' first regular-season game with the New England Patriots ended in disappointment on Wednesday night, as the wide receiver finished without a catch in a 13-10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks and dropped a pivotal fourth-quarter pass that helped swing the game. Doubs, 26, signed a four-year, $68 million contract with New England in March after four seasons with the Green Bay Packers, where he recorded a career-high 724 receiving yards and six touchdowns in 2025. Expectations were high entering the season opener, but he was targeted three times and recorded zero receptions and zero receiving yards. The defining moment came with the score tied 10-10 in the fourth quarter. On second-and-14, quarterback Drake Maye escaped the pocket and found Doubs open downfield for what would have been a gain of at least 33 yards and a first down. The pass slipped through Doubs' hands. On the very next play, Maye threw an interception, and Seattle later moved into range for Jason Myers' 26-yard field goal, which gave the Seahawks a 13-10 lead that stood as the final score.
