Jekyll & Hyde: New England Patriots Ready to Test Sam Darnold

Sam Darnold faces his biggest test yet—will he deliver under Super Bowl pressure or unravel against the relentless New England Patriots defense? Nick Cattles breaks down Darnold’s Jekyll-and-Hyde season, comparing his inconsistent performances from the regular season to his NFC Championship brilliance against the Los Angeles Rams. With the Seattle Seahawks’ offense plagued by turnovers and struggling under pressure, the question looms: can Darnold avoid costly mistakes when it matters most?

The episode also spotlights Rhamondre Stevenson’s explosive impact, but warns that the Patriots’ run game faces a formidable challenge against Seattle’s elite run defense, which ranks among the NFL’s best. Nick Cattles dissects key third-down battles, Drake Maye’s urgent need for support, and how the Patriots can borrow tactics from Sean McVay to gain an edge. Can New England force turnovers and control the tempo, or will Seattle’s defensive front dictate the game’s outcome?
