Patriots vs Seahawks: Which team is leading based on season performance before Super Bowl LX?

Super Bowl LX is set to be an exciting rematch between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks. With both teams showcasing dominant seasons in 2025, it’s worth comparing their performances to see who looked better before the big game.

Patriots performance this season

The Patriots' 2025 season was a big change for the team. New England went 4-13 in 2024 and they bounced back with a 14-3 record in the regular season of 2025, which was the best in the league. Second-year quarterback Drake Maye played a big role in this success. He threw for more than 4,300 yards and 31 touchdowns. He was praised for his accuracy and leadership and ranked highly in several passing categories.



The team’s success was not just about offence. Head coach Mike Vrabel guided the Patriots to win the AFC East title. They then defeated the Denver Broncos 10-7 in a tough AFC Championship Game played in snowy conditions.

New England’s offence was strong and capable of making big plays. At the same time, their defence stayed steady in key moments. The team’s rise from a losing season to reaching the Super Bowl was one of the biggest stories of the NFL season.

Seahawks performance this season

The Seattle Seahawks also finished the regular season with a 14-3 record. Under head coach Mike Macdonald, they won the NFC West and secured the top seed in their conference. Sam Darnold had an excellent season, throwing for more than 4,000 yards. He helped lead a productive offence throughout the year.



The team's offence ranked among the top in the league, and their defence was also very strong, allowing very few yards and points compared to other teams.

The Seahawks were one of the hardest teams to beat because they had a good mix of offense and defense. They won big games in the playoffs, like the NFC Championship, which showed they could manage pressure.

Who leads heading into the title game?

On paper, both teams look very similar. The Patriots and Seahawks both finished 14-3 in the regular season. New England’s comeback season and Drake Maye’s strong performance have been widely praised.



However, Seattle’s steady performance (especially on defence) has made them favourites in many predictions.

In the end, Super Bowl LX which is happening in Santa Clara will decide which team is truly better. Based on season performance alone, both teams have strong cases making this matchup one of the most evenly balanced in recent memory.
