The game between the Patriots and the Seahawks is currently underway, and the winner of Super Bowl LX will be known in the next few hours.
The pregame storyline is clear: Seattle comes in with an elite defense and an efficient offense led by Sam Darnold, while New England lands in Santa Clara with a reborn project built around young QB Drake Maye. Many analysts are leaning their predictions toward the Seahawks, with a majority of picks giving them the edge both on the scoreboard and in overall performance.
On a narrative level, the matchup offers several key angles:
Seattle comes into the game with a defense that has been described as a “dark side defense” and ranked number 1 in the league, both in points allowed (17.2 per game) and overall efficiency. Standout figures include Leonard Williams on the line, Ernest Jones at the second level, and Devon Witherspoon in the secondary, all with All‑Pro mentions, which gives them a very solid backbone across all three defensive levels.
Offensively, Sam Darnold has found stability in the system, with weapons like Jaxon Smith‑Njigba in the passing game and Kenneth Walker III in the rushing attack, both capable of producing explosive plays at any moment. The combination of an offense that can score quickly and a defense that chokes opponents in the red zone makes Seattle the favorite in most models and early predictions.
The Patriots have earned respect in this Super Bowl run, putting to rest any doubts about a “weak schedule” after beating several 11+ win teams in the playoffs. The offensive core is built around Drake Maye, a QB who can extend plays with his legs and attack tight windows, and around a run game heavily based on gap schemes that has been one of the most efficient in the NFL.
In the trenches, New England has leaned on packages with six offensive linemen to dominate the line of scrimmage and force opposing defenses out of their usual nickel looks. If they can replicate that approach against Seattle, they can turn the game into a battle of tempo and time of possession, reducing the total number of drives—something that benefits an underdog looking to keep the score close.
