It is finally here, the grand finale is almost set to get underway as the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks head to Santa Clara to fight for Super Bowl LX. The two teams will meet for the second time in Super Bowl history, a rematch of Super Bowl XLIX, over 11 years ago.
Both of these star-studded teams are lead by their brilliant quarterback and head coaching duos. For New England, it is Drake Maye, in his first season as the full time starting quarterback, and first-year head coach Mike Vrabel.
For Seattle, quarterback Sam Darnold will look to end his first season with the Seahawks on a high note, alongside second-year head coach Mike Macdonald. Seattle is coming off of a thrilling victory in the NFC Championship after taking down the Los Angeles Rams by a final score of 31-27.
The Patriots got here after defeating the Denver Broncos in an absolute bloodbath of an AFC Championship, winning by a final score of 10-7. New England has been critiqued all season for having a subpar schedule along with an injury riddled playoff path, but when it's all said and done they are in fact competing for a Super Bowl.
Seattle, on the other hand, has almost everyone's ultimate respect. From having the high scoring defense throughout the league in addition to a reincarnated Sam Darnold, the Seahawks have been absolutely steamrolling their competition since early September.
After it seemed like New England's dynasty was thwarted and up-ended a number of years back, somehow the start of a new one has taken its place. In such a short amount of time, Drake Maye has asserted himself with the best of the best in the current NFL.
This game should be an instant classic. In fact, if it is anything close to the last time these two teams met in the Super Bowl, this game is going to be thrilling.
My endorsement sides with Seattle and the Seahawks as I would love to see Sam Darnold lift a Lombardi Trophy after everything he has been through the past 7 years. Seattle is the favorite in this one, but I expect the game to be very close, but in the end Seattle will lift their second Super Bowl.
