It’s instructive to remember that New England lost its past two Super Bowl appearances when its high-octane offense sputtered and failed against the underdog New York Giants (in early 2008 and ‘12). But now, its best shot to win that long-coveted fourth ring might rest in the hands of a defense that could throw up a challenging roadblock in front of Russell Wilson and the rest of the Seattle Seahawks offense.
The Patriots’ defense might lack the panache, profile and pedigree of Seattle’s suffocating and well-decorated unit, but don’t be surprised if the story of Super Bowl XLIX on Sunday revolves around New England’s ability to frustrate and deny the Seahawks’ creativity on offense.

Great breakdown from Andy Benoit, essentially calling Gronk the pivotal player of the Super Bowl. Myself I kind of think Edelman is way under the radar this week and given how huge a day Welker had last time against the Seahawks, I think he could be in for a big game, especially if Gronk draws a ton of attention.
This game is supposedly all about the high-octane Patriots offense vs. Seattle’s Legion of Boom secondary. But what about the flip side? How are Russell Wilson and Co. supposed to put up points against a Patriots defense that has effectively controlled all but two quarters of the postseason?
Put another way: Seattle’s defense is probably marginally better than New England’s. But the offenses aren’t even close. The Patriots averaged 29.3 points per game, good for fourth in the league, and that includes a finale against Buffalo in which they didn’t try. The Seahawks, meanwhile, were a respectable 10th at 24.6 points per game, but they lack weaponry.
