The statistic that has Seattle Seahawks excited about Super Bowl
The Seahawks are in the fight to become the top seed in the National Conference, something that would allow them to host the playoffs at home.
The Super Bowl remains one of the Seahawks’ biggest unfulfilled ambitions, despite the franchise already having a Vince Lombardi Trophy in its history. Seattle, however, is determined to add another title this season, with the goal of finishing as the top team in the American Conference.
Seattle’s path to the playoffs will be defined by next Saturday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers. The winner will secure first place in the Conference and earn a bye in the Wild Card round.
Beyond the pursuit of the number one seed, the Seahawks are excited about the possibility of reaching the Super Bowl for the first time in 12 years. Notably, the last time they achieved that feat, several coincidences mirror the current season.
The first is their impressive winning streak. Seattle have put together 13 consecutive victories, something that also occurred during the 2013 season, when they went on to win the Super Bowl against the Denver Broncos.
The second coincidence is unrelated to the NFL. Just as in 2013, a new Pope was elected in 2025. This time it is Leo XIV, an American, while 12 years ago Pope Francis was elected, the same year the Seahawks claimed the first Super Bowl title in their history.
Finally, another storyline that could repeat itself at Super Bowl LX is the matchup itself. Thirteen years later, the decisive game could once again feature the same teams.
