New England is running out of time to generate a big defensive play that can tip the scales in their favor (though they have been VERY close). No weather complications like Denver. Soon, Seattle won't need to throw as much and be exposed to the blitz.

This is how Seattle wants to play. Strangle New England, force them into max protect. Two blitzes to end the last two drives.

First blitz of the day for Seattle on that last third down. Mike Macdonald rarely pressures but hits when he does. That was a six-man blitz with Witherspoon forcing the throwaway.

After a walk around the concourse, my estimation of jerseys goes as follows:
60% Seahawks
30% VPs and executives from State Farm
10% Patriots

I’m all in on C4, but Vrabel is a mad man.
NFL coaches brag about their over-the-top coffee consumption.But of course, Mike Vrabel has taken it to another level with a face-tingling energy drink that keeps the Patriots on edge.
Literally.
"I tried it once," a coach says. "It made me feel very uncomfortable."

The rise of Seahawks DC Aden Durde is unlike any story in modern NFL coaching.
But it's *because* he was born and raised in the U.K. that he was able to master his craft, not in spite of it.
