SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 8 (UPI) -- The New England Patriots' ability to protect against Seattle Seahawks stunts might be the most important factor Sunday in Super Bowl LX.
Statistics show Seahawks defenders dominated foes this season, but it was what they hid through disguises that enabled that detonation.
Coach Mike Macdonald's heavy use of stunts -- with defenders exchanging roles and responsibilities after the snap -- perplexed opponents and propelled non-blitz pressures for one of the league's top defenses.
Now, it will be up to Patriots coaches, quarterback Drake Maye and his blockers to find ways to combat the deception if they want any chance of offensive fluidity Sunday in Santa Clara, Calif.
