On Sunday night, one team will be elated, while the other will be crushed.
The Seahawks and Patriots both won 14 games in the regular season, with Seattle earning home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs while New England was the AFC’s second seed. Seattle romped past the 49ers, 41–6, in the divisional round before outlasting the Rams, 31–27, in the championship game. The Patriots have put on a defensive clinic over the past three weeks, allowing only 16 total points against the Chargers, Texans and Broncos.
