Patriots’ Mike Vrabel Details What Makes Seahawks So Good Ahead Of Super Bowl LX

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel knows the Seattle Seahawks will be a tough challenge in Super Bowl LX.

The Patriots will play the Seahawks on Feb. 8 in a game in which New England is the underdog. Although the Patriots have plenty of time to prepare for the Seahawks, Vrabel knows New England will have to be on their A-game to beat them.

“Oh, I mean, they’re first in the league in scoring on defense, third on offense,” Vrabel said on Tuesday. “Good mix of veterans and youth. So, any time that you have defenses that are good at keeping points down, it makes it real difficult. They disguise well, they blitz and sometimes they get pressure with rushing four.

“I mean, they’ve got four or five guys with six or seven sacks each. Offensively, it’s a mix of some of the West Coast stuff, some play action, but then just the scheme and Darnold’s ability to operate and function, and not many people slow down JSN (Jaxon Smith-Njigba). Kenneth Walker (III), the speed, he can hit the edge, he’s not afraid to cut up.”

Vrabel’s praise for the Seahawks didn’t stop there. He believes the special teams and defense are also solid, which makes Seattle such a tough opponent.

“They’ve got an excellent special teams unit. That special teams has won them some football games, that broke it open against Atlanta, 6-6, I think it’s tied at halftime. He takes the opening half kickoff or the second half kickoff to the house.

“Defense gets a couple turnovers, and then it’s a blowout. So, we’re going to have to be really good in all phases, but this is an excellent football team.”

Despite Vrabel having plenty of respect for the Seahawks, he still has plenty of confidence in his team to pull off the upset and win Super Bowl LX.

New England is a 4.5-point underdog against Seattle in Super Bowl LX.
