Super Bowl excitement in the South Bay
While many of the major NFL events have been taking place in San Francisco, there’s also plenty going on leading up to Sunday’s game in the South Bay.

The Seahawks ended the regular season 16-3 with the Patriots earning just one more win, ending at 17-3.

A promising opening drive for the Seahawks stalled out in the red zone with a Jason Myers 33-yard field goal giving Seattle a 3-0 lead.
Sam Darnold made two pinpoint throws to get Seattle moving on the opening drive. Darnold found A.J. Barner for 15 yards just beyond the reach of cornerback Marcus Jones to cross midfield.

However, the drive stalled out to force the field goal try. An 8-play, 51-yard drive early for the Seahawks.
