"Super Bowl XX: Bears 46, Patriots 10. Richard Dent is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in part due to his dominating performance (two forced fumbles, 1.5 quarterback sacks, a deflected pass, roughly 95 quarterback hurries) in the biggest rout in Super Bowl history to that point. The Seahawks don't have a singular pass-rushing menace like Dent, but they are loaded in the interior of their defensive line, deep in edge rushers, and are sure to test rookie left tackle Will Campbell."
"Super Bowl XXXI: Packers 35, Patriots 21. The Patriots could have won their first Super Bowl during the 1996 season, despite Bill Parcells all but wearing a Jets jacket on the sideline. A Curtis Martin 18-yard touchdown run cut the Packers lead to 27-21 in the third quarter. But Desmond Howard blew through the middle of the Patriots' kick coverage team for a 99-yard return TD on the ensuing kickoff. Warning: Seahawks trade-deadline pickup Rashid Shaheed is a Howard-caliber return man."
When the Patriots take the field Sunday night against the Seahawks, it will mark the 12th Super Bowl appearance in franchise history and the 10th this century. A football franchise that repeatedly appears in Super Bowls often sees history repeat itself in some form. Some pivotal plot twist in the upcoming game is likely to echo moments from the Patriots' six Super Bowl victories or five losses. Super Bowl XX featured Richard Dent's dominating pass rush in a 46-10 rout. The Seahawks lack a singular Dent but have a strong interior defensive line and deep edge rushers. Super Bowl XXXI featured a 99-yard kickoff return by Desmond Howard; Seahawks returner Rashid Shaheed is a comparable threat.
