Summary

The Seattle Seahawks throttled the Los Angeles Rams to punch their ticket to the Super Bowl and it should be no surprise that a massive special teams error ultimately tipped the scales the the Seahawks. The Rams issues in the third phase have been their Achilles heel all year and Seattle being a more well-rounded team gave them the advantage they needed. The New England Patriots will once again head to the big game, but this time they are led by Mike Vrabel. Vrabel has proven once again he is a top-tier coach in the NFL and despite his quarterback falling apart in the playoff and a lack of superstars anywhere on the roster, his magical touch continues to get the absolute best out of his squad. The Pittsburgh Steelers mad a strange move this weekend, hiring Mike McCarthy as their next head coach. This is a major departure from their previous practices and doesn't really make sense for where they are as a team. It appears the Steelers are still unable to properly evaluate who they are as a team. The Baltimore Ravens hired Jesse Minter as their next head coach and while Minter has major upside, the expectations are so high in Baltimore, it could be tough to live up to what John Harbaugh has left behind.
