Which three players from each team are the biggest keys for their teams heading into Super Bowl XLIX after the obvious stars?

The 2014-15 NFL season is just one game away from being over, and that game is of course Super Bowl XLIX. Both the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks are talented football teams, which makes for a very intriguing matchup.

Neither team has an advantage heading into the game, and both teams have shown weaknesses throughout the season. It wasn’t too long ago that fans were talking about Tom Brady being washed up and mentioning that the Patriots should look into potential trades. Seattle also had their share of bad losses, and they weren’t considered a Super Bowl favorite early on in the year.

These two teams are so close in talent that the game could very well come down to three different players on each team.

Obviously the stars like Tom Brady, Russell Wilson, Rob Gronkowski, and Marshawn Lynch cannot be called those “key players” that can make a difference. They are already factored into the game as two of the biggest offensive factors in the game for each side.

That being said, there are still three different players on each team that needs to step up for their team to come away with a championship win. Which three players are those for each team?
