The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks, who played in Super Bowl XLIX (which also was broadcast on NBC and seen by 114 million people), will face off Sunday, Feb. 8 in Santa Clara, California, for the NFL championship.
In their last meeting for the title, the Patriots defeated the Seahawks 28-24 on Feb. 1, 2015. Quarterback Tom Brady was named MVP with a record 37 pass completions after New England clinched the victory with a last-minute interception by Malcolm Butler as Seattle elected to have quarterback Russell Wilson throw from the Patriots’ 1-yard line.
Led by MVP contender and quarterback Drake Maye, the Patriots are back in the Super Bowl for the first time in seven years and trying to win their first championship since the Brady-Bill Belichick era.
Why Your Car Insurance Claim Got Denied in the USA
The Seahawks, who are led by quarterback Sam Darnold and star wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, are making their first Super Bowl appearance since 2015 (after winning their first title in 2014).
In broadcasting the Super Bowl for the 21st time (and the second on Peacock), NBC Sports will have announcing teams in seven locations around the Bay Area on game day. From Feb. 2-8, NBCUniversal will present more than 90 hours of Super Bowl-related coverage across multiple platforms.
The Real Problem Most People Don’t Notice
At first glance, car insurance seems straightforward—you pay your premiums, and when trouble hits, you're covered. But dig a little deeper, and you'll find a web of complexities that catch even careful drivers off guard. The hidden issue? Many policies are loaded with exclusions and conditions that aren't obvious until it's too late. Think about it: in the rush of signing up online or over the phone, who really pores over every detail? Insurers bank on that, and in my experience talking to folks across states like California and Florida, it's this oversight that leads to the most frustration.
