SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Super Bowl LX is finally here.
An improbable turnaround season for Mike Vrabel, Drake Maye, and the Patriots will come to an end Sunday — as the Patriots will battle the Seahawks with the Lombardi Trophy on the line.
Kick-off from Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara is set for 6:30 p.m. EST. You can watch the game on NBC, as well as listen on 98.5 The Sports Hub.
New England is looking to be the first NFL team to win seven Super Bowl titles — and become the first team to go from 4-13 the previous season to hoisting football’s top prize.
A stout defensive showing has anchored New England’s run to Super Bowl LX, but New England might need Drake Maye to play the game of his life in order to defeat a Seattle team with few flaws across their depth chart.
Here are eight things that the Patriots must do to beat the Seahawks on Sunday night, as well as a look at what’s at stake for Vrabel and his team.
As the Patriots try to win Super Bowl LX, follow along for live updates and check back once the game wraps for some early observations.

12:01: The message from Mike Vrabel today, per Albert Breer:
Patriots coach Mike Vrabel played U2’s Beautiful Day to open his 10 am PT team meeting. He told the story of Super Bowl XXXVI—and that it was a beautiful day b/c a team no one expected to win did, together.
He left players with 3 words on today’s plan: Belief, Identity, Rage.
