They're bringing their corporate partners in.
So a lot of this, I would say probably three-quarters of the stadium has something to do with other than the actual two teams playing in it.
I can see both quarterbacks struggling for sure because this is the number one and two defenses in the postseason and also top five defenses in the regular season when it comes to scoring.
The Patriots' offense has only averaged 18 points in the postseason, so Drake May is going to have to be on against this Seattle defense.
The problem is the left side of the offensive line for the Patriots are two young kids, and they've really struggled in this season.
this postseason run against top-end defenses.
Now, if the Patriots are able to win this game, they'll have played the best defenses in football one through five, and they have come through by winning games.
But it has been a slugfest, to say the least, and both teams are really good at stopping the run, and both teams want to run the ball first before throwing it.
So that leads me to believe that it's going to be a low-scoring game, and I would think it's going to be a grind pretty much for four quarters.
I think New England because they have two running backs that are healthy.
And Travion Henderson didn't really play in the AFC Championship game.
I only think he saw four carries.
That was Ramondre Stevenson's game as he was on the field for 64 out of 68 plays.
But I do think having two running backs is better than having just one.
Now Seattle coming into this...
into the playoffs, had two running backs.
They lose Charbonnet, and now it's all Kenneth Walker.
Now, Kenneth Walker is a great player.
Don't get me wrong.
But I do think that the Patriots' defense, their run defense has been spectacular in the playoffs, and I would suspect that it's going to be the same here.
