This update from the QB arrived just 24 hours before the Seahawks will take on the Patriots.

The Seahawks traded him back in 2021, and it was marked as one of the biggest moves in franchise history. After all, he’s the same guy who won nine Pro Bowls and won a Super Bowl with the team.

And now, as his former team prepares to face New England, they will remember what happened 11 years ago. In Super Bowl 49, the Patriots defeated the Seahawks 28-24. Interestingly, Russell Wilson was QB1 for Seattle. The Seahawks Nation will forever remember the last play that cost them the title.

The Seahawks were within the 10-yard line. Instead of giving the ball to Marshawn Lynch, Wilson decided to pass it to Ricardo Lockette. Unfortunately, Malcolm Butler intercepted the ball. With 20 seconds left on the clock, the Seahawks’ dream of winning consecutive Super Bowls was destroyed.

While the veteran quarterback is busy with Feeding America, his former team is eyeing revenge.

The Seattle Seahawks are ready for revenge

The wound from Super Bowl XLIX is still fresh for the Seahawks. Their hopes for a second Lombardi Trophy were crushed because of the unfortunate interception. Now that they have a chance at making things right. The Patriots are a young team and in transition. Unlike the last time, none of the Patriots players know what winning a Super Bowl means.

Using that inexperience to their benefit, the Seahawks want to win their fourth consecutive game against the Patriots. However, things won’t be easy for the NFC’s top seed. The Patriots have the third-best offense in the league (379.4 YPG) and rank 8th in total defense (295.2 YPG allowed). They are one of the most consistent franchises in the league.

On top of everything, quarterback Sam Darnold has thrown 14 interceptions this season. Six more than Drake Maye. In Week 11, during the loss against the Los Angeles Rams, he threw four interceptions. Thankfully, he has not had interceptions in the playoffs this season. Moreover, Darnold is trying to keep his mental health steady. He is talking with his close ones and not letting pressure mount on him.

Super Bowl LX marks the fourth time that the Patriots will be in a rematch. Out of the franchise’s last three Super Bowl rematches, only one had its results flipped. The Seahawks will be hoping that Super Bowl XLIX does not repeat. While they yearn for it, they will be careful not to let it get to their heads.
