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

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

For the Patriots, my analysis starts and stops with Drake Maye. Maye put together a hell of a campaign this year. He ended the regular seaosn with 4,394 passing yards, 31 touchdowns, and just eight interceptions. I’ll always take those numbers from any quarterback, but a guy in year 2, and under a first year coach? Impressive. He did get sacked 47 times, though. And, that’s a lot to deal with. He also has been sacked 15 times in the playoffs. You can’t hold the ball that long and expect good things to happen. In the postseason, against tougher competition, his completion percentage has gone from 72% in the regular season, to now 55.8%. That’s a huge drop. He has four touchdowns and two interceptions. He does use his legs to add another dimension to the game, but that’s not the primary way anyone on New England wants to win this game. I’ve given the Patriots defense their flowers, but it is also time to give some credit to the Seahawks. They just faced the likely MVP in Matt Stafford and held him when it mattered most. The Patriots offense is good, but it isn’t elite like the Rams. The Patriots have Stefon Diggs, but he isn’t Davante Adams or Puka Nacua. In the regular season, the Seahawks were the sixth best defense in terms of total yards, and best in points allowed.
