- Tom Brady believes Patriots being Super Bowl 60 underdogs is motivation for Mike Vrabel
The New England Patriots are the underdogs going into Super Bowl 60 against the Seattle Seahawks .
Tom Brady believes that’s exactly where Mike Vrabel wants his team to be .
“Knowing Vrabel, he’s probably got every bit of underdog material up everywhere,” Brady told Colin Cowherd . “We were 14-point underdogs in 2001, Vrabes was a part of that team. Believe me, if you pick the Seahawks, I’m sure he’s gonna be telling the entire team that Colin Cowherd picked the Seahawks. We’re underdogs. That’s just the mentality. And that’s OK. Someone’s got to be that.”

Vrabel won three Super Bowls with the Patriots as a player and with Brady as his teammate. The first-year New England coach knows what it’s like to be the underdog and also knows what it takes to win as the underdog.
The Patriots did a complete 180 from 2024 when they finished 4-13. While their schedule was statistically one of the easiest in the NFL, they still faced top defenses and were a perfect 8-0 on the road in the regular season.
“The Patriots have had an incredible season. I think what they’ve done has surprised everybody. It’s so many guys that have come together, coaches, players that are new, great communication, great toughness,” Brady said . “They played in a lot of tough environments, and they certainly deserve to be representing the AFC in this Super Bowl.”
The Seahawks will be a tough test for the Patriots — the final one that stands between New England and its seventh Vince Lombardi trophy.
