For the Seahawks, this is a Super Bowl where their defense must prove it's more than just a product of the Legion of Boom era. They've carried that legacy on their backs for years, but can they continue to be dominant without those seven players? The answer will come when Sam Darnold takes the field on Sunday. For his part in the Seahawks' Super Bowl run, he's been nothing short of phenomenal, posting a 101.1 passer rating and throwing 65 touchdowns over his last two seasons.
The Patriots, meanwhile, are looking to finally move forward from the departures of coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady. Mike Vrabel is trying to bring some stability after years of turmoil in New England. The team's defense has been good this year, finishing top five in scoring offense and defense for the first time since 2017.
The Seahawks' defense will need to be at its best to stop the Patriots' rushing attack, which finished third against the run this season. But it won't be an easy task for the Patriots' running back TreVeyon Henderson. After a strong rookie season, he's struggled in the playoffs and may not have enough energy left after playing his 21st game of the season.
The Seahawks will need to get production from their ground game if they're going to keep up with the Patriots on Sunday. Julian Love and Kam Chancellor are key figures for the Legion of Boom defense, but they won't be around this year. However, the team still has a strong secondary that allowed the fewest points in the league this season.
The Seahawks have no desire to push their legacy further back into the past, instead focusing on reaching it this time around. The Patriots, meanwhile, are out to write a new chapter in their franchise's history.

the seahawks defense has been looking solid all season and sam darnold is having an absolute beast of a year 
65 touchdowns? that's insane! but gotta give it to the patriots too, mike vrabel is doing a great job trying to bring some stability after all those years of turmoil 
and treveyon henderson might be just what they need to take down the seahawks... fingers crossed for an epic game!! 
I'm intrigued by the prospect of Sam Darnold leading the Seahawks to Super Bowl victory 
. His phenomenal performance over the last two seasons has raised questions about whether the Legion of Boom-era defensive dominance is still sustainable without those iconic players 
. On paper, the Patriots' defense looks promising, but their rushing attack might be vulnerable without TreVeyon Henderson's energy and experience 
. The Seahawks will need to rely on their strong secondary and ground game to keep up with the Patriots, making Sunday's matchup a fascinating clash of styles 
. Ultimately, it'll be a test of both teams' adaptability and resilience 
.
they got sam darnold now but can he stop patriots' treveyon henderson? 
and pats defense has been on fire this year 
gotta wonder if patriots have what it takes to bring home another super bowl 
... i feel like the seahawks have been carrying the weight of their legacy for so long, and now they gotta prove they can do it without the old guard 
... sam darnold's been on fire lately tho, he's got some big shoes to fill but if anyone can do it, it's him 
... and omg treveyon henderson is such a wild card 
... i think the seahawks need to focus on their own ground game too, they cant rely on just darnold and hope for the best 
i think the seahawks defense has been pretty solid all season but they gotta step up if they wanna take down the patriots... sam darnold is looking like a total game changer on offense 
i think the seahawks secondary will hold up just fine tho, they were the best in the league last year 
. The Seahawks are trying to prove themselves without relying on past heroes like the Legion of Boom, but I'm still waiting for them to reveal their true hand 
...
. The Seahawks need to get some production from their ground game if they wanna keep up with the Patriots' rushing attack 
. And can we talk about how much the Legion of Boom era is gonna be missed without Julian Love and Kam Chancellor? 
treveyon henderson is gonna be a wild card in this game. the seahawks need to step up their ground game big time if they wanna keep up with the pats 
️ and let's not forget, their secondary is still one of the best in the league 
]
they're still a solid team, but if their defense gets smoked by the patriots' rushing attack, it's all over for them 
101.1 passer rating is insane! 
over his last two seasons! But can they keep up with this Patriots defense? They've got some legit speed on the ground with TreVeyon Henderson, and if he's feeling it, that's trouble 
. I'm intrigued to see how Mike Vrabel brings stability to New England, they've been all over the place lately 
. One thing's for sure, both teams are hungry for a ring and it's gonna be a real battle 
.
.
. One thing's for sure - it's gonna be a wild ride
