Starting quarterback, 28-year-old Sam Darnold's, will make his first Super Bowl appearance this year. "I wouldn't be where I am without those guys behind me, and I can't wait to celebrate with them," Darnold said of his team's upcoming championship game. The Seahawks previously battled the Patriots in the Super Bowl in 2015, when Tom Brady led the Seahawks to a 28-24 victory.

Patriots head coach, Mike Vrabel and quarterback, Drake Mayer are hoping to claim their team's seventh championship ring. If they win, the Patriots will have the most rings in Super Bowl history.
