“THE LAST PLAY”
Super Bowl victors are often never the best team in football but simply the club firing on the most cylinders upon entering the Post Season. This past campaign, Seattle proved to be both. The Seabirds may be an infuriating group of bullies when it comes to press conferences and medias scrums. However, their on-field play over the course of the past two seasons can be described as nothing short of lockdown. The Seahawks not only owned the top-ranked defence in the NFL this season (a group who, numbers show, played better on the road this year, mind you), they fielded the statistically most dominant rushing offence in the league (led by ‘looks-like-a-Beast Mode’ RB Marshawn Lynch), a shine-under-spotlights QB in Russell Wilson (a competitor who, numbers show, played better on the road this year, mind you) and are playing on the West Coast in a venue they’re exceptionally familiar with in University of Phoenix Stadium (SEA play the Cards here at least once every season and have won both of their last two visits, scoring more than 30-pts in each contest). New England is not without a shot in the dark for upset in this spot, owning the hands-down best TE in the game and a QB-coaching tandem that already sports a total of three Lombardi trophies to their names. That said, the ‘Hawks are circling and the Pats simply do not own enough advantages mentally or statistically to win this ball game outright (did somebody say Deflategate?). Don’t get facts confused – this Super Bowl can be won by NE…it just won’t be, for history has a tendency to repeat itself ad nauseam and the team with the hottest hand and the sharpest defence entering this contest is easily identifiable: the Seattle Seahawks. Enjoy Katy Perry @half.
