"Call it the Explosive Play Bowl. The big play has always mattered, but in the past few years, NFL games have become battles between teams trying to create and prevent explosive plays. Defenses have raised their rates of two-high safety looks, funneling teams toward the run and short passes. Offenses have accordingly taken what the defense has given. With a leaguewide increase in willingness to go for it on fourth down, third-and-short has become an opportunity to hit those explosive plays."
"Super Bowl LX kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday (NBC/Peacock), with the Seattle Seahawks facing the New England Patriots. New England is looking to make history by becoming the first NFL team with seven Super Bowls wins. The last time the Seahawks went to the big game was against the Patriots in 2015 for Super Bowl XLIX, where Seattle lost a 28-24 heartbreaker."
