Seattle Seahawks star quarterback Sam Darnold said at a recent press conference that staying at the team hotel feels like training camp. He enjoys spending time with his teammates, eating snacks together, and moving in and out of the practice facility and locker room.
In short, the signal caller is keeping himself relaxed and rejuvenated before Sunday’s final showdown against the New England Patriots. However, the Good Morning Football [GMFB] crew, Kyle Brandt, Jamie Erdahl, Manti Te’o, Seth Rollins, and Willie Colon, are analyzing whether the Seahawks will win Super Bowl 60 and offering valuable insights. With one of them saying, they expect a mistake-free performance from Darnold.
Kenneth Walker and rushing attack
Super Bowl XLIII champion Willie Colon says Seattle can win the Big Game if it runs the ball. Kenneth Walker and his rushing attack led the league in attempts. New England’s head coach, Mike Vrabel, has been saying that if they can’t stop the run game, they’re in trouble. The Seahawks’ running back accumulated 221 rushing attempts for 1,027 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns in the 2025 season.
Protect the football and rely on defense
Former Chicago Bears linebacker Manti Te’o thinks the Patriots are not given enough credit for stopping the run.
Christian Barmore [Patriots’ defensive tackle] and company will make it tough to run against them. The Seahawks will win if they avoid turnovers and protect the ball. Seattle’s strength is its defense, so rely on it.
Sam Darnold avoids interceptions and fumbles
WWE superstar Seth Rollins says Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson is the truth. Robinson shares that he couldn’t get through the interior line in New England [In Nov. 2025 game, the RB accumulated just 12 carries for 46 yards against the Patriots]. Rollins hopes Kenneth Walker can keep going but thinks it will all come down to Sam Darnold throwing the ball. The quarterback throws down the field, uses weapons like [veteran wide receiver] Cooper Kupp. The Seahawks can win if they avoid mistakes. If Darnold doesn’t throw an interception, fumble, or hold onto the football for long, they can win the Super Bowl game.
Seattle Seahawks’ defense against Matthew Stafford
GMFB host Kyle Brandt says if Darnold throws a couple of picks, the Seahawks will likely lose.
If Darnold plays a clean game, Brandt doesn’t think this Patriots team can beat him.The Seahawks will win unless Matthew Stafford starts for the Patriots [everyone laughs]. Brandt doesn’t think that will happen because Stafford said last night at the NFL Honors 2026 that he’s coming back for the 2026 season. When the Seahawks defense faced Stafford, they got nothing. They’re not very good against him, but against everyone else, they’re incredible.
