The 5 most important players in the Super Bowl
Tom Brady
You surely didn’t think I’d role through this list and not include a quarterback now, did you? Russell Wilson will be vital to this game as well, but in order for the Patriots to walk away with their fourth championship in franchise history, Tom Terrific is going to have to be on his A-game, especially against this tenacious Seahawks defense.
At age 37, this might be Tom’s last legit chance at capturing another title and he doesn’t want this opportunity to slip past him. No quarterback in the NFL over the past decade (maybe in history) has done a better job at spreading the football around to multiple players and getting them involved like Brady does. He’ll have to be deceptive and do that versus the Seahawks to keep them on their heels as often as possible. Of Brady’s record six Super Bowl appearances, I believe this Seahawks team will be his greatest challenge. Nothing short of a B + performance from him will be enough to beat this team.
