This rematch recalls their 2015 encounter, where New England's Malcolm Butler intercepted a goal-line pass to secure a 28-24 victory.

The first half saw the Seahawks delivering their slow-and-steady pace to keep the Patriots scoreless. However, in the second half, after the crowd was treated to Bad Bunny's halftime show, the Patriots were edging toward a comeback. However, the Patriots' comeback attempt wasn't enough.
