Summary

The Super Bowl is just days away and the pressure will increase as we get closer, but the pressure is highest for both startign quarterbacks, Drake Maye and Sam Darnold. Darnold has struggled under pressure for most of the season and Maye is looking to become the youngest quarterback to ever win a Super Bowl. The Seattle Seahawks will be hoping Jaxon Smith-Njigba can help take pressure off of Darnold, but the New England Patriots have Christian Gonzales at cornerback and if they matchup, that could be more difficult and force someone else to step up. Finally, the battle of the trenches is always key in football and Seattle's committee approach has been devastating, but the Patriots have Milton Williams, who could wreck the game.
