"Seahawks down 28-24 at the 1-yard line a dynasty waiting in the shadows to be formed. Russell Wilson was one play away from being a back-to-back Super Bowl winner, likely cementing his spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Pete Carroll would've been considered a genius, while the Legion of Boom would've gone down as the greatest defensive unit ever. Instead, in dramatic fashion, Wilson and the Seahawks ran a quick drop-back pass that was intercepted at the goal line by Malcolm Butler."
"The former No. 3 overall pick struggled against New England, throwing four interceptions while fumbling once. Jets fans now get the privilege of not only watching their failed franchise quarterback play in the Super Bowl, but also against their division rivals, the Patriots. Although Darnold has proven he can hang around in the playoffs this season, there's still a slight worry: Will he be able to handle the biggest stage?"
Super Bowl 60 matches the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks in San Francisco, recalling Malcolm Butler's 2015 goal-line interception. The Seahawks enter as favorites while the Patriots are led by young star Drake Maye and carry a narrative of destiny. The 2015 finish left Russell Wilson and the Seahawks one play from dynasty status, with Pete Carroll and the Legion of Boom poised for lasting acclaim before the interception. Sam Darnold emerges as a major storyline due to past struggles, including a four-interception game versus New England and uneven playoff performances with Minnesota, raising questions about his poise on the biggest stage.
