Super Bowl LX: Key one-on-one matchups for Seahawks-Patriots

Open Extended Reactions

Two weeks is a long, long time to game-plan an NFL game. It's also a long time to think about the game plan when you're on the outside looking in.

I've had (almost) two weeks to think about the matchups that will define Super Bowl LX. How will the Patriots try to cover Jaxon Smith-Njigba? How might the Seahawks attempt to block Milton Williams? But I've also had time to wonder whether individual matchups really do define Super Bowls. Are these big game-plan-heavy days really decided by one-on-one showdowns -- even as important as those individual players might be to their teams' success?
