"The Patriots making it all the way to Super Bowl LX might be the most improbable part of their 2025 season, yet they are now two weeks away from hosting the Seahawks in a Super Bowl XLIX rematch 11 years in the making, exactly as we all predicted. Although it was far from what anyone could have imagined this season would end, their rivalry from the start of the second half of the dynasty is certainly memorable,"
"particularly since the Legion of Boom appeared set to take Seattle on their own winning legacy for years to come. That was quickly ended, however, with Malcolm Butler's impeccably timed interception in the end zone to give the Patriots their first Super Bowl win in ten years, and now the should-have-been-MVP could be a big part of this year's Championship, too."
The Patriots reached Super Bowl LX in an improbable 2025 season and will host the Seahawks in a Super Bowl XLIX rematch eleven years after 2014. Malcolm Butler's end-zone interception secured the Patriots' first Super Bowl victory in a decade and positions him as a natural choice for honorary captain. Patriots fans suggested Butler for the role, building on Adam Vinatieri serving as honorary captain in the AFC Championship. The Seahawks enter favored largely because of their defense, while Sam Darnold has boosted their offensive explosiveness. The Patriots navigated three top-five defenses en route to the Super Bowl. Fans hope Butler's presence might provide extra momentum.
