Burg and Manish break down the Seattle Seahawks’ 29-13 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX. Mike Macdonald’s defense dominated Drake Maye & Co. en route to hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. Kenneth Walker carved up Mike Vrabel’s defense, which held Sam Darnold and Jaxon Smith-Njigba in check all night.

The guys dissect the Patriots’ porous offensive line, rookie left tackle Will Campbell’s struggles and what else went wrong for Josh McDaniels’ offense.

On the flip side, the Patriots defense played well enough to win by holding Seattle to five Jason Meyers field goals and just one touchdown.

In the end, was it inevitable that the Seahawks would become Super Bowl champions?

The guys then discuss Seahawks general manager John Schneider) (28:00, who became the first GM in NFL history to win two Super Bowls for the same team with two different head coaches and rosters. It was a forgettable night for former Jets general manager Joe Douglas, who punctuated his failed legacy as the man who traded away Sam Darnold as a 23-year-old (30:00).

The guys wrap up with their thoughts on the new Pro Football Hall of Fame class (32:00), Tony Dungy’s refusal to disclose his votes and Randy Moss’ and Deion Sanders’ thoughts on revamping the voting process. Wil the Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft snubs spark real change?

Burg and Manish kick off the Super Bowl LX Preview episode questioning New England Patriots legend Tom Brady’s curious comments about who he’ll be rooting for in the big game.

Then, Manish zeroes in on the Seattle Seahawks’ stout defense versus New England’s shaky pass protection as the key to the game (15:00). Mike Vrabel’s defense has played its best in the postseason (17:20), which could present challenges for Darnold, too.

The discussion moves to the Patriots’ willingness to embrace the underdog mentality (20:20) all season. On the flip side, the Seahawks are dealing with a potentially impactful injury to dynamic rookie safety Nick Emanwori (24:00). Will Maye & Co. be able to take advantage of it?
