Super Bowl LX podcast Rich Perez:

#1 How will Seattle’s strong defense impact New England’s offensive game plan? With the Seahawks finishing with one of the top defenses and limiting opposing offenses effectively this season, how might that affect the Patriots’ ability to score?

#2 Can the Patriots’ pass rush force turnovers from Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold? New England’s pressure rate has been among the best in the playoffs — will that translate into forcing mistakes in the Super Bowl?

#3 Which player(s) are most likely to make game-changing plays — and why? For example, how might Jaxon Smith-Njigba or Kenneth Walker III’s big-play ability influence the outcome?

#4 Will weather conditions at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara affect how the game is played? Forecasts indicate a chance of rain early in the game — what impact could that have on ball security and running vs. passing strategies?

#5 What historical significance could this game have for each franchise? If the Patriots win, it would be their seventh Super Bowl title and first without Tom Brady — whereas a Seahawks win would be just their second in franchise history.
