The stage for Super Bowl LX has been set. It will feature the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks in a rematch of their instant classic 11 years ago.
Only this time, you'd be hard-pressed to find anybody who had either of those teams penciled in as title contenders before the season.
The Patriots won four games in 2024. They were riding a new head coach and second-year quarterback, while also taking advantage of one of the easiest paths to the Super Bowl we've ever seen.
Seattle's path was much more unorthodox. They emerged from mediocrity purgatory.
