Patriots to renew rivalry with Seahawks at Super Bowl LX on TSN

Published: 

Super Bowl LX is set as the New England Patriots will take on the Seattle Seahawks from the Levi’s Stadium, the home of the San Francisco 49ers, on Feb. 8.

The matchup features quarterback Sam Darnold leading a Seahawks team to the top of the NFC in his first season in Seattle. He will be taking on a sophomore quarterback in Drake Maye, who leads his Patriots squad to the Super Bowl in their first playoff appearance since 2021.

Seattle enters the Super Bowl after defeating the 49ers in the Divisional Round and securing a nail-biting victory over the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship Game.

They are led by Darnold, who finished fifth in the NFL in passing yards with 4,048 to go along with 25 touchdowns and 14 interceptions in his first season with the Seahawks. The 6-foot-3 pivot starred against the Rams in the NFC Championship Game, throwing for 346 yards with three touchdown passes.

Receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba continued his stellar season, hauling in 153 yards with a touchdown catch in the victory. The 6-foot receiver led the NFL with 1,793 receiving yards this season to go along with 10 touchdown catches.

Receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba continued his stellar season, hauling in 153 yards with a touchdown catch in Sunday’s victory. The 6-foot receiver led the NFL with 1,793 receiving yards this season to go along with 10 touchdown catches.

Running back Kenneth Walker III also added 62 yards from the ground with a touchdown. He was among the NFL’s top rushers this season, putting up 1,027 rushing yards with five touchdowns.

The Seahawks entered the playoffs on a hot streak, winning seven straight regular-season games.

Maye leads the Patriots into the Super Bowl after helping his team win their first AFC East title since 2019, when the legendary Tom Brady was still quarterbacking the team.

The Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Chargers on Wild-Card Weekend, Houston Texans in the Divisional Round, and the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game to reach the Super Bowl.

New England clung to a 10-7 victory in the AFC Championship with the game being played in the middle of a snowstorm.

Maye only put up 86 yards in the air while adding 65 yards on the ground with a rushing touchdown, which was the only touchdown of the game. The 23-year-old is an MVP finalist for the 2025 campaign after throwing for 4,394 yards with 31 touchdowns and eight interceptions during the regular season.

Among Maye’s weapons is veteran receiver Stefon Diggs, who is reaching the Super Bowl for the first time in his 11-season career. He finished 12th in the NFL with 85 receptions in the regular season with 1,013 receiving yards and four touchdowns.

On the ground, Rhamondre Stevenson was key for the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game, rushing for 71 yards on 25 carries. TreVeyon Henderson was the team’s main running back in the regular season, rushing for 911 yards with nine touchdowns.

The Patriots entered the postseason winning 13 of their past 14 games, with their lone loss coming in Week 15 to the Buffalo Bills.

New England’s appearance in the Super Bowl is their NFL-record 12th in franchise history and if they defeat Seattle they will move past the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most Super Bowl titles in NFL history.
