The NFC champion Seattle Seahawks are chasing their second title, having famously crushed Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII. Led by quarterback Sam Darnold and NFL receiving leader Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the Seahawks’ offense has been formidable. Yet, it is their defense that stands out, allowing the fewest points in the league, making them one of the most difficult teams to score against. Seattle’s blueprint to victory relies on imposing their defense on the Patriots’ line while establishing a strong running game.
Super Bowl LX also features a rare quarterback matchup: both Maye and Darnold entered the season without prior playoff experience, a scenario that has occurred only twice in the past 40 years. This combination of fresh faces and high-stakes performance adds extra intrigue to the championship clash.
