The 2026 Super Bowl line opened at Seahawks -3.5 vs. the Patriots. That line quickly shot up to -4.5 within the first two minutes.
Drake Maye threw for just 86 yards, but ran for 65 and iced the win with a 7-yard keeper on third-and-5 in the waning minutes to send the Patriots (17-3) to the Super Bowl in Mike Vrabel's first year as coach.
“I’m just proud of this team,” said the 23-year-old Maye, who's the second-youngest starting quarterback to reach the Super Bowl, behind only Miami's Dan Marino. “Don’t have many words. Just thankful for this team. Love each and every one of them. It took everybody.”
New England, which went 4-13 last year under Jerod Mayo, became the third team in the Super Bowl era to win a conference championship with 10 points or less.
Seattle finished off the LA Rams Sunday night to punch their ticket to the 2026 Super Bowl.
This will be a rematch of the 2014 Super Bowl. It was the last time Seattle played in the big game. They were defeated by New England.
The year prior, the Seahawks won their only Super Bowl in franchise history — Super Bowl XLVIII on February 2, 2014, when they defeated the Denver Broncos 43–8.
