Super Bowl LX Preview
Is Super Bowl LX one of the most unlikely matchups we’ve ever seen in a championship game during the Super Bowl era? That’s what many analysts and fans are saying.
The New England Patriots took last season’s rock-bottom, 4-13 finish and turned it completely on its head this year, going 14-3 in head coach Mike Vrabel’s first season leading the team that he won his three rings with as a player during the first Brady-Belichick dynasty. He’ll be the first head coach in NFL history to both start as a player for and head coach a team in the Super Bowl. The Patriots rode an elite defense and Drake Maye’s meteoric second-year development under OC Josh McDaniels — now in his third stint in New England — to the AFC Championship title, which they won in a close, snowy game against the Denver Broncos. It’s their first Super Bowl appearance since the legendary Tom Brady left New England for Tampa Bay.
Over in the NFC, the Seattle Seahawks posted an identical 14-3 record in defense-minded head coach Mike Macdonald’s second year. Punching a ticket to the Super Bowl is the capstone of a remarkable career turnaround for Seahawks QB Sam Darnold. Darnold struggled for years after being considered a major bust early in his career but began to experience a phoenix-like resurgence after he joined the Minnesota Vikings in 2024. The Vikings traded him to Seattle in favor of starting second-year QB J.J. McCarthy — a decision they may very much regret at this point. A win will see Seattle hoist the Lombardi for just the second time in the franchises’ history.
Key matchups to watch:
- Jaxson Smith-Njigba versus Patriots secondary: Smith-Njigba was the league’s leading receiver this season, but he’ll face one of his toughest tests against Patriots star cornerback Christian Gonzalez. The Patriots are also deep at corner beyond Gonzalez, with Carlton Davis III and Marcus Jones both playing well this season.
- Patriots O-line versus Seattle’s defensive front: Pass protection has been an issue for the Patriots this season, especially during the playoffs, where Will Campbell has struggled and Maye has been sacked 15 times.
- Seattle’s run game versus Patriots defense: Even without Zach Charbonnet, Seattle’s run game has been potent, but they’re up against the New England run defense, which has been one of the league’s best this season.
- Turnover volume: Both teams have been turning over the ball at relatively high rates this season, especially Seattle. Darnold, in particular, is a bit famous for being exceptionally turnover-prone. Last time these two teams met in the Super Bowl, it was an infamous goal-line turnover that sealed the deal in New England’s favor.
If the Patriots win, it’ll be their seventh title and they’ll overtake the Pittsburgh Steelers as the franchise with the most Super Bowl wins. Seattle will pull out all the stops to prevent that from happening, and they’ll certainly have revenge on their mind after their tragic, last-minute loss to the Patriots in the 2015 Super Bowl.
