One of the best all-around safeties in the league, Julian Love put his stamp on the Seattle Seahawks' thrilling comeback win over the New England Patriots to open the season in more ways than one, once again proving "The Mayor" swings a big stick in Mike Macdonald's secondary on the stat sheet and as a leader.

Emerald City Spectrum reporter Corbin Smith breaks down Love’s outstanding performance, including a big hit to open the second half that seemed to re-awaken a dormant Lumen Field crowd, and how his presence helped bring out the best in a secondary missing several injured players.
