"The Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl on Sunday, and if history is any indicator, we will see a lot of teams try to replicate their success in future seasons. To be clear, we mean emulate how the Seahawks won the Super Bowl. The NFL is a copycat league and so many teams tend to look at what is currently successful in the league in the name of trying to get some of that for themselves."
"From a macro perspective we may see NFL teams prioritize blitzing defensive backs. Seattle played dime over 50% of the Super Bowl itself and while that was only one game across their world championship season, the ability that Mike Macdonald has to blitz in that capacity is unique and was a big reason why they held the New England Patriots scoreless for most of the game."
The Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl, which will prompt many NFL teams to try replicating the way they won. NFL teams often imitate currently successful approaches, seeking foundational elements rather than exact personnel or coaches. Teams may prioritize blitzing defensive backs and heavier dime-package usage after observing Seattle's success. Seattle deployed dime more than 50% in the Super Bowl, and Mike Macdonald's capacity to blitz from that formation helped hold the New England Patriots scoreless for most of the game. Replication remains difficult because only Seattle fields the same roster and coaching staff, forcing teams to adapt concepts to their own personnel.
