Injury Report

Game Notes
All Time Super Bowl Records: New England 3-3, Seattle 0-1. This will be the first ever post season match up between the two teams, all time in the regular season the series between the two teams is tied at 8-8. The last meeting was a year ago at CenturyLink Field. A 24-23 win for the Seahawks.

Players to Watch:

Offense:

Tom Brady - QB: The Patriots signal caller really needs zero introduction. He is one of the most famous men to ever play the sport, and for good reason. In this game he will be chasing his elusive 4th super bowl ring in what some have whispered may be his last season.

Defense:

Vince Wilfork - DT: The most destructive player in the league at his position. Wilfork will make it hard for Marshawn Lynch to get much going in this one.

Prediction: The feel good story of golden boy Tom Brady retiring on top is a dream for the media, but anyone who has watched these Seahawks play for the last month can tell that they are on a whole other level from the rest of the league. Their NFC championship rout proved that this team is as focused as ever on claiming the ultimate prize. Hold on to your hats Seattle. Come Monday, you may finally have reason to celebrate.
