6 reasons why Bill Belichick and the Patriots win Super Bowl XLIX

2. Heavy running game will inflict heavy damage

After banging the Colts for 148 yards and three touchdowns, it’s a pretty good bet that LeGarrette Blount will play the role of hammer in the Super Bowl for the Patriots.

However, Belichick has options, and he can also give the ball to Jonas Gray or Shane Vereen. The Pats have a versatile crew of running backs that play with the kind of hunger that will prove relentless in this matchup.

Should the Seahawks stop Blount once or twice in his tracks for no gain or a loss, there is no hesitation. The Patriots are going to continue to pound away if they believe they can impose their will on the NFC Champions.

The Seahawks are known for their gang tackling, and Blount will put that ability to the test because he does not go down on the first hit. Once he makes it through the line of scrimmage, he runs like a tank and it’s almost impossible for one tackler to bring him down.
