SAN JOSE — Jadeveon Clowney predicted this a month ago. Predicted that a field of 14 NFL playoff teams would winnow into Super Bowl LX and would feature Seattle and New England. Which LX features, just as the sack specialist with a future in prognostication said.
Clowney chose these teams based on his informed opinion, having played for both Mike Vrabel and Mike Macdonald in his 12-seasons-for-seven-franchises NFL career. He loved them both, especially their brains. Macdonald was brilliant, and his brilliance is well-documented. But Vrabel was that, too, just not in the obvious, outward way.
