The AFC and NFC Championship games are over, and the stage is set for Super Bowl LX. It’ll be a rematch of a Super Bowl played 11 years ago as the New England Patriots will face the Seattle Seahawks on February 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
The Patriots edged out the Broncos in Denver in a low-scoring, defensive game by a score of 10-7. Drake Maye scored New England’s lone touchdown on the ground, and Broncos kicker Wil Lutz missed two field goals in snowy weather. The 14-3 Patriots are going to their first Super Bowl since 2018.
The Seahawks defeated the LA Rams in Seattle in a game that played out completely differently from its AFC counterpart. The two NFC teams went back and forth and scored a total of 58 points, but it was Sam Darnold’s 346 passing yards and three touchdowns that helped lead the Seahawks to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2015.
Fun fact, that game in 2015 was between the Patriots and Seahawks, and famously ended when Malcolm Butler intercepted a goal-line pass from Russel Wilson. It’ll be different coaches and different quarterbacks, but will the outcome be different? The analysts in Las Vegas have the Seahawks as a 3.5-point favorite, but we’ll have to wait and see how things play out.
