The Seahawks were first in total defense, first in scoring defense, first against the pass and third against the run this season and are looking for a second straight title.Seattle physically overwhelms its opponents on a consistent basis and will try to do the same Sunday by pressuring Brady with the front four and shutting down the wide receivers and tight end Rob Gronkowski with the leagues best secondary.Seattle also understands that it has to be prepared for a number of different offensive looks from New England, as defensive end Michael Bennett said, via Tom Layman of the Boston Herald:I think its up to the defense. If you let him throw the ball, hes going to throw the ball. If you let him run the ball, they are going to run the ball. Thats how you play great football. Some coaches believe that you want to hit a certain amount or number of a certain this or that, but I believe the Patriots believe that whatever is working, thats what they are going to do.Seattle doesn't play a physical brand of football on just the defensive side, though.It was tops in the league in rushing yards this season behind the combination of Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch. The Seahawks are capable of running through the tackles with the powerful Lynch or around the edge with the fleet-footed Wilson and will give New Englands front seven trouble throughout the game.ESPN Stats & Info noted just how effective Lynch has been in the playoffs while also pointing out that Seattle is simply the most physical team in the league on both sides of the ball:The Seahawks will control the clock with the rushing attack of Wilson and Lynch, which will keep the dangerous Brady on the sidelines. The lockdown defense will take care of the rest after the offense spots Seattle an early lead.Get ready for talk about a new dynasty, because the Seahawks are going to win their second Lombardi Trophy in a row.Prediction: Seahawks winFollow me on Twitter:Follow @ScottPolacek
