New England’s path to The Big Game has exposed some offensive cracks, and they now run headfirst into the league’s most suffocating defense.
The Patriots managed just 12 and 13 first downs in their last two playoff games, with Drake Maye bottled up under constant pressure.
Seattle, by contrast, arrives humming after hanging 41 on San Francisco and 31 on the Rams, looking every bit like the more complete team.

What our Post expert thinks about Patriots vs. Seahawks
This game leans toward Seattle’s front, which generates pressure without blitzing and now faces a quarterback who has already absorbed 10 postseason sacks.
Rashid Shaheed sits in a sneaky sweet spot against a New England defense that leans heavily on man coverage and bleeds production to secondary receivers.
If the Patriots do find steady offense, it likely runs through Hunter Henry underneath, where Seattle’s zone looks and YAC issues have quietly left real room to operate.
