After grinding out a hard-fought win over the Broncos in a game heavily impacted by the weather, the New England Patriots are once again at the center of the spotlight. Mike Vrabel and his players will travel to Santa Clara to compete in Super Bowl LX against the Seattle Seahawks.
Much has been made in recent hours about the decisions Sean Payton made throughout the game, particularly his choice to go for it on fourth down instead of attempting a field goal ā a gamble that ultimately backfired as his team fell 10ā7 to the Patriots.
When asked by the media about the situation, Vrabel made it clear that in the decisive game he will make whatever decisions are necessary to be as aggressive as possible, especially against an opponent with a physical, hard-nosed defense like Seattle.
āI donāt mind being aggressive,ā the HC said. āThe biggest thing is trying to predict the flow of the game and what thatās going to look like and how many points you think youāre eventually going to need to win the football game.ā
