The Seattle Seahawks knew one of the biggest ways to defeat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX was to crowd the line of scrimmage and terrorize Patriots quarterback Drake Maye. There were questions about the offensive line of the Patriots, and Seahawks’ edge rusher Derick Hall solidified those concerns.

As the Patriots started to gain some consistency in their first drive, Seahawks outside linebacker Derick Hall got the first sack of the game. A few plays, cornerback Devon Witherspoon almost sacked Maye and forced him to throw away the ball that probably should’ve been called for intentional grounding.

In the next Patriots’ drive, Witherspoon blitzed from the slot cornerback position to force a three-and-out.
