Following the Patriots’ 10-7 win out in a snowstorm in Denver, they had to wait to see who their opponent would be in their next postseason match-up as the Seahawks took on the Rams out in Seattle.<\/p>\n

Several hours later, we know who they’ll be facing in Santa Clara in two weeks.<\/p>\n

It will be Sam Darnold and the Seahawks, who took care of the Rams on Sunday, 31-27.\u00a0 That sets up another meeting between the Patriots and Seahawks with a Vince Lombardi Trophy at stake.<\/p>\n

The last time the two teams met on that stage was back in 2014 in Glendale Arizona, where New England came away with the 28-24 victory<\/strong><\/a> thanks to the infamous Malcolm Butler interception<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In that Patriots vs Seahawks showdown, it was Russell Wilson who was Seattle’s quarterback against then Patriots QB Tom Brady, while this match-up will instead see second-year New England quarterback Drake Maye take on Darnold with the Lombardi Trophy on the line.<\/p>\n

Darnold put up quite the performance on Sunday against Matthew Stafford, with Darnold completing 25-of-36 (69.4%) for 346 yards and 3 touchdowns.\u00a0 It’s certainly a big moment for him, with the former Jets QB having led his current club to a Super Bowl berth after a 14-3 regular season finish by the Seahawks in 2025<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The last time the Patriots took on Seattle during the regular season was in Week 2 of 2024, with the Seahawks winning that match-up 23-20.<\/p>\n

Overall, New England is 3-4 against them going back to 2000<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Super Bowl is currently set for Sunday, February 8, at 6:30 pm ET at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
