Seattle's Unexpected Strategy Set to Crush Patriots in Super Bowl LX—Can New Tactics Rewrite History?

I pretty much gave away my pick right there, and I’m not really sure that it makes for good writing, but I’m going to try to explain why in the next few paragraphs, so hang with me. Seattle has been one of the best teams in the NFL for the entirety of the season. While that may seem obvious, considering they made it to the Super Bowl, that isn’t always the case. The Seahawks started the year with a tightly contested loss to the 49ers at home, and then won their next three games. They only suffered two more losses on the schedule this year, dropping a home game to Tampa Bay and then a road loss to the Rams. In the postseason, they made the 49ers look silly in the first game, winning from the opening kickoff until the final buzzer. I’ll be the first two admit that I wasn’t (and I’m still not fully) sold on Sam Darnold being a top-tier quarterback. He is surrounded by a great team, though, and that makes a world of difference. He threw for 4,048 yards and 25 touchdowns. He did have 14 interceptions, though. In the postseason, he has four touchdown passes and no interceptions. He looked great against the Rams as well. The Patriots defense has been great in the playoffs so far. They made Justin Herbert look average, forced CJ Stroud into turnover after turnover, and then almost lost to Jared Stidham, but still held them to seven points. Life will be tough on Seattle, but they are diverse in their attack, have a great pair of receivers, and a good defense to back them up as well.
