Hold your breath, because the Super Bowl is going to get exciting this year! The Seattle Seahawks are now the first defending champion to head to the Super Bowl in ten years after its 28-22 OT win against the Green Bay Packers.

They are now set to face the New England Patriots after their eighth straight win. The opposing team, the New England Patriots, has been the most dominant NFL franchise of the millennium.

The Seahawks also set a bar when they won a playoff game after a Super Bowl win. The last time this has happened was with the New England Patriots.

Many people are setting their eyes on the Seahawks and the team is currently more favored by the crowd over the Patriots, making them the early favorites. During their 2012 encounter with the Patriots, it can be recalled how the Seahawks won 24-23. However, the teams are now better than who they were then.

However, there are obstacles standing in the way that the Seahawks would have to triumph over: Brady, Rob Gronkowski and the rest of the Patriot's offense. Meanwhile, the spotlight is on Russell Wilson as he tries his best to lead the Seahawks into their second consecutive championship. If they win, it could be the "last repeat NFL champions for a long whole - far longer than the current 11-year drought" according to Demanjo.

Super Bowl XLIX will be happening on February 1^st in Glendale, Arizona where the Seahawks will face the New England Patriots in the 49^th Super Bowl.
