The Seattle Seahawks’ Super Bowl LX victory produced plenty of postgame discussion as the dust settled.

Several pregame talking points quickly resurfaced once the result was confirmed.

One comment, in particular, stood out for how closely it aligned with what unfolded on the field at Levi’s Stadium.

The prediction came from Detroit Lions star Amon-Ra St. Brown before kickoff, and for the Patriots, it proved uncomfortably accurate.

Amon-Ra St. Brown’s Patriots scoring prediction comes true

Ahead of the Super Bowl, St. Brown shared a blunt view on New England’s chances of putting points on the board.

“My Super Bowl prediction is that I don’t know if the Patriots are going to score more than 13 points,” he said.

By the end of the night, that prediction had aged perfectly. The Patriots finished with exactly 13 points in their 29–13 loss to the Seahawks.

What initially sounded harsh quickly turned into a talking point as New England struggled to generate consistent offense throughout the game.

Why the Patriots struggled so much against the Seahawks

New England’s problems began up front. The Patriots’ offensive line failed to hold up against Seattle’s pass rush, allowing constant pressure into the backfield.

Last year’s fourth overall pick, Will Campbell, in particular, endured a difficult night in protection.

Drake Maye rarely looked comfortable as the pocket collapsed repeatedly.

The rookie quarterback was sacked six times and faced pressure on numerous other dropbacks.

With little time to throw and few clean looks downfield, the Patriots’ offense never found rhythm, making St. Brown’s prediction feel inevitable as the game wore on.
