Super Bowl LX features a rematch of Super Bowl XLIX, pitting the NFC champion Seattle Seahawks against the AFC champion New England Patriots. The Seahawks, led by a resurgent Sam Darnold and a dominant defense, enter as favorites after a stellar season.

Key Player Matchups
Super Bowl LX will hinge on these pivotal battles:
Drake Maye (Patriots QB) vs. Seahawks Secondary: Maye, a dual-threat star with 450 regular-season rushing yards, faces a Cover 2-heavy defense (33.1% of dropbacks) that limits deep shots. He’ll need to exploit underneath voids and scramble effectively.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba (Seahawks WR) vs. Christian Gonzalez (Patriots CB): JSN led the NFL with 1,793 receiving yards and thrives against man coverage (428 yards, 3rd). Gonzalez, an elite shutdown corner, must contain him in zone looks.
Kenneth Walker III (Seahawks RB) vs. Patriots Run Defense: Walker faces New England’s 6th-ranked run D (101.7 yards allowed/game). Seattle’s 50% run rate (3rd in NFL) will test the Pats’ front, which allowed just 116 RB rushing yards in the playoffs.
Patriots O-Line vs. Seahawks Pass Rush: New England’s line has struggled (Maye sacked 35 times), facing Seattle’s deep front that pressures without blitzing.
Series History
The Seahawks lead the all-time series 11-9 (including playoffs). Key games: Super Bowl XLIX (2015): Patriots 28-24 (Malcolm Butler’s iconic interception). Recent: Seattle won four of the last five, including a 23-20 OT thriller in 2024. Total points: Patriots 423, Seahawks 408.
