"They're in the Super Bowl because they made every right move in constructing their roster. And the Commanders should take notes. The Seahawks have been led primarily by their defense, which leads the league in fewest points allowed. This is despite a unit that lacks big-name superstars or high-profile draft picks, aside from cornerback Devon Witherspoon. Mainly, it's been elite scheming by Macdonald and the youth of Seattle's roster, allowing them to fly around the field."
"All of Seattle's top seven leading tacklers are 26 or younger. Linebacker Ernest Jones IV is the unit's leader, a revelation ever since he was traded from the Tennessee Titans in 2024. General manager John Schneider has hit on recent draft picks such as Byron Murphy and Nick Emmanwori in the first two rounds. Tyrice Knight, Coby Bryant, and Riq Woolen are success stories for the later rounds."
The New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks will meet in Super Bowl LX after unexpectedly successful seasons. The Patriots rebounded from four wins in 2024 behind a new head coach and a second-year quarterback, aided by an unusually easy playoff path. The Seahawks advanced via an unorthodox approach centered on defense, which led the league in fewest points allowed through elite scheming and a young, fast roster. All seven leading tacklers are 26 or younger. Key contributors include linebacker Ernest Jones IV, Devon Witherspoon, Byron Murphy, Nick Emmanwori, Tyrice Knight, Coby Bryant, Riq Woolen, Leonard Williams, DeMarcus Lawrence, and receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
