00:00I think the team that plays the soundest, the team that makes fewer mistakes, big mistakes,
00:14the team that doesn't turn the ball over, the team that doesn't have a special teams gaffe,
00:18I think they're the team that wins the game.
00:20I think it's an evenly matched game.
00:23I think Seattle probably, for me, is a little bit of a better team, top to bottom.
00:27Maybe a lot of that has to do with the schedule they played.
00:31Coming from the NFC West, play the Rams three times, play San Francisco three times,
00:36they've gone through a gauntlet and come out the other side of it.
00:40New England's schedule has not been as good, but New England's been awfully good in the playoffs.
00:45Their defense has really emerged, so they're doing all the things they need to do.
00:49It's not their fault they didn't come up with the schedule, right?
00:52But I do think a team like Seattle can benefit from the calluses they develop,
00:56winning some of those tough games against some of those really good opponents.
01:01So I think the team that plays sounder, the team that plays cleaner,
01:05ultimately will be the team that wins.
