For the first time in my life, I'm going to be looking for people to run into, Snell told Jets halfback Emerson Boozer, who went on to deliver key blocks in the game. I'm going to be looking to punish people.

He's been balling, Hawkins said of Woodson, who led the NFL with 30 postseason tackles. I'm so proud of him, especially to see his growth throughout the season and knowing him since he was a freshman in college. Coming into this league, starting off the jump as a rookie. I'm proud of him. I respect the hell out of him. He's my brother.

The New England Patriots got good news on that front when it comes to Drake Maye's banged-up throwing shoulder. Lindsay Jones reported that Maye not only practiced in full on Wednesday, but took every first-team rep. That's a good sign that Maye, after taking most of last week off, will be about as close to 100 percent as possible entering his 21st game of the season.

In his second season, head coach Mike Macdonald turned a promising 10-7 debut into full control of the NFC West, earning the No. 1 seed and guiding Seattle back to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2014. It happened the way Macdonald prefers: through defense, discipline, and suffocating physicality. Seattle finished the regular season with the NFL's top scoring defense, allowing just 16.4 points per game. But the numbers barely capture how oppressive this unit has been.

We don't know if none of this happens without him - the 10 trips to the Super Bowl this century, the six championships secured, with a seventh pending Sunday night's outcome. Tom Brady probably becomes a superb quarterback even if Adam Vinatieri had shanked that 45-yard, tying field goal on that snow-globe Saturday night against the Raiders in February 2002. Bill Belichick probably wins dozens, maybe even hundreds, of football games as a head coach.

The New England Patriots are back in the Super Bowl. In an amazing turn of events from two disastrous 4-13 seasons under two different former coaches, Robert Kraft finally hired Mike Vrabel. In one magical offseason, he engineered a transformation for the ages, turning an NFL frog into a prince by reaching the Super Bowl. Vrabel and his young quarterback, Drake Maye, beat all the odds, and owner Robert Kraft can again stake a claim to being the best owner in the NFL.

The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks faced off in Super Bowl XLIX in 2015, a memorable matchup the Patriots won 28-24. With a second-and-goal at New England's 1-yard-line late in the fourth quarter, Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson was intercepted by Malcolm Butler in one of the more shocking Super Bowl moments. The Seahawks did not reach the Super Bowl since that matchup until this season.

Drake Maye vs. Sam Darnold. Two stingy defenses. A second-year head coach vs. a veteran coach in his second act.Super Bowl 60 is set and it's a rematch: The New England Patriots vs. the Seattle Seahawks.The Patriots will seek their NFL-record seventh Super Bowl victory when they face the Seahawks on Feb. 8 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.

He was selected by the Patriots in the fourth round of the 2019 draft and started a grand total of zero games for them. There were some mitigating factors such as backing up Tom Brady in his first season in the NFL. But when Cam Newton came to town in 2020, he was the backup Brian Hoyer's backup so New England clearly didn't think too highly of him.

Instead, with the Seahawks trailing 28-24 and 26 seconds to play, offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell with the authorization of coach Pete Carroll called for a quick slant pass from quarterback Russell Wilson to wide receiver Ricardo Lockette. New England safety Malcolm Butler got there first with an interception at the 1. The Patriots (15-4) won their fourth of six Lombardi Trophies under coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady.
