Super Sunday has arrived. As kickoff nears, let's break down the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots by their individual units and see where each team might have an edge.
Quarterback: New England's Tom Brady will go down as one of the greatest passers of all time, perhaps even the best ever given the big wins and gaudy numbers on his resume. But Seattle's Russell Wilson might be the better player Sunday. When the pass rush gets to Brady, he's generally on the turf in a heap. And he's faced with the daunting task of facing a Seattle defense that allowed the fewest points, fewest total yards and fewest passing yards in 2014. Conversely, Wilson thrives making downfield throws while scrambling if he doesn't take off outright (his 849 rushing yards paced all QBs in 2014). And consider Wilson's playoff record, which is 6-1 (.857). Brady is 11-8 (.579) since the Patriots last won the Super Bowl after the 2004 season.
