After 11 years for the Seattle Seahawks and seven years for the New England Patriots, both teams are now headed back to the game of the year. Super Bowl LX (60) is kicking off at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California,on Feb. 8 at 5:30 p.m.
For people not wanting to travel 1,694 miles to watch these teams play for the Vince Lombardi Trophy, NBC will be broadcasting the game, it can be seen on streaming services Peacock, NFL+, DirecTV Stream, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, and Fubo (subscriptions may be needed.)
The Super Bowl was last held in San Francisco in 2016 when the Denver Broncos defeated the Carolina Panthers 24-10. At the beginning of the playoffs, fans of the Panthers and the Broncos hoped for a repeat of the 2016 season with a rematch back at Levi’s Stadium. Those hopes were crushed, however, when the Panthers were eliminated in the wild-card round and the Broncos lost in the AFC championship game.
The Seahawks and the Patriots both won their conference championships Jan. 25. The Patriots defeated the Denver Broncos on Denver’s home turf 10-7, and the Seahawks were able to thwart the Los Angeles Rams 31-27.
During the week leading up to the NFC and AFC championships, the internet took notice that the final four head coaches were either named Mike or Sean. This led to many different funny scenarios of who could end up at the Super Bowl, would it be Sean vs. Sean? Mike vs. Mike? Or like both the NFC and AFC championships, would it be Mike vs. Sean? We now know that the two Super Bowl teams will be led by Mike Macdonald of the Seahawks and Mike Vrabel of the Patriots.
The Patriots and Seahawks faced off before in Super Bowl XLIX (49) in 2015. However, while the teams may have the same name, entirely different players will make this game unique. All that’s left is to see which team and which Mike makes the right call when it matters most.
