Super Bowl 60 Review

Game Review

- Seahawks won their second SB in franchise history beating the Patriots 29-13

- Pats punted on their first 6 drives of the game

- Jason Myers kicked 3 FG in the first half to give the Seahawks a 9-0 lead

- Kenneth Walker had a 30 and 29 yard run on one of the drives that were huge plays for the Seahawks

- After another Pats punt in the 3rd, Seahawks take get another FG to go up 12-0

- At this point in the game I was thinking would there be any TDs in the game

- Both defense were playing with their hair on fire

- Drake Maye was under siege the entire game, didn’t play well

- Darnold didn’t play that good either, but he did great job managing the game

- At the end of the 3rd quarter Maye is sacked by Derick Hall and DT Byron Murphy recovers the fumble

- Getting the ball at NE 37, the Seahawks finally put together a drive and score a TD 16 yard AJ Barner TD

- At this point I knew the game was over

- However, on the next drive, Maye hits Mack Hollins on two 30 yard bombs to cut the deficit to 19-7

- Seahawks punt on their next drive

- Pats after the punt, gets the ball back, and Maye throws a terrible pick to Julian Love

- Seahawks get another FG to go up 22-7

- Next Pat drive, Maye throws the kiss of death pick 6 to Uchenna Nwosu to seal the game

Biggest Takeways From the Game

- Seahawks winning this proved you don’t need a young genius offense coach to win a SB

- Seahawks defense really were the MVPs of the game, Pats really sustain any drives all night

- Drake Maye put up one of the worse playoffs runs for at least 3 games in a postseason since 2000

- With hindsight, you would think a defense of coach is going to make a young QB feel uncomfortable and that is what happened

Winners and Losers

Jacob and Byron are here giving their unfiltered thoughts on the first Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia, and BUCKLE UP!
