"After falling into obscurity, slowly but surely, over the last five years, the New England Patriots are back to where they are most comfortable: in the Super Bowl. They're set to take on the Seattle Seahawks in a championship rematch ten years in the making, hoping they'll endure the same joyful fate as the last time the two teams met in Super Bowl XLIX."
"For many fans, it's a nightmare scenario, not only because their team isn't contending for the Lombardi anymore, but mostly because the Patriots are back on top after a short drought. It was far from what anyone believed would be possible for the newly Mike Vrabel-led team, but they defied the odds and now represent the AFC on the biggest stage of all."
The New England Patriots returned to the Super Bowl after five years of relative obscurity, set to face the Seattle Seahawks in a ten-year rematch that recalls Super Bowl XLIX. The Patriots overcame doubts under new coach Mike Vrabel to win the AFC and reach the championship. Many NFL fans react negatively to the Patriots' return to dominance, especially given lingering animosity toward the franchise. FS1 analyst Max Kellerman publicly rooted for the Seahawks and posted a celebratory message about Seattle winning Super Bowl LX, a stance that fuels fan superstition and concerns about jinxes.
