Super Bowl 60 is here.
The Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots are the last two teams standing after an eventful and surprising 2025 NFL season, and they meet in Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California on Sunday night (6:30 p.m. ET).
The Patriots' ascent has aligned perfectly alongside that of quarterback Drake Maye. In Mike Vrabel's first season as Patriots head coach, he and Maye led the Patriots to an AFC championship victory unlike any of those of the legendary Tom Brady-Bill Belichick dynasty of the 2000s and 2010s.
Maye and the Patriots find themselves underdogs entering Super Bowl 60, a Las Vegas label that was only attached to the first Super Bowl that Brady and Co. made. The rest, New England entered as the favorites, including their Super Bowl 49 showdown against the same Seahawks that was highlighted by the Malcolm Butler goal-line interception that sealed the victory.
Equally as unlikely as the Patriots' path is the redemption story of quarterback Sam Darnold. On his fifth franchise in eight seasons, the 2018 No. 3 pick has firmly planted himself as a franchise passer in Seattle, putting to bed any doubts of his viability as such.
