"SAN FRANCISCO -- No, you're not in the Upside Down, but you might be experiencing a little bit of déjà vu. Eleven years after facing off in Super Bowl XLIX, the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots are meeting again with the Lombardi Trophy on the line in Super Bowl LX. And while there are some similarities to those teams -- like a nickname-worthy Seattle defense (aka "The Dark Side") -- these two teams don't carry the same reputations they had back then."
"Led by MVP runner-up Drake Maye and AP Coach of the Year Mike Vrabel, the Patriots no longer have the notoriety of an empire spearheaded by Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. Instead, they're a young, spunky team that got here after a three-win season a year ago. After shutting down the Los Angeles Chargers in the wild-card round, the Patriots overcame two ugly playoff games against the Houston Texans and Denver Broncos."
Eleven years after Super Bowl XLIX, the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots meet again in Super Bowl LX. The Patriots, led by MVP runner-up Drake Maye and AP Coach of the Year Mike Vrabel, rebounded from a three-win season to reach the title game after wins over the Chargers and postseason victories over the Texans and Broncos. New England's defense has allowed a playoff-best 209 yards and 8.7 points per game and recorded 12 sacks in three games. Seattle's defense remains the team's foundation under second-year coach Mike Macdonald, while the offense is led by quarterback Sam Darnold.
