The AFC Championship game could have been a ticket to Super Bowl LX for the Denver Broncos, but a narrow 10-7 defeat by the Patriots amid harsh weather conditions took away their chances. With the New England Patriots now up against the Seattle Seahawks this Sunday, hype for the last big game is at its peak, and with Surtain adding his bold prediction to it, he has shocked some of the NFL fans.
Following the AFC loss, Patrick Surtain II, the Broncos’ star cornerback, has predicted the Super Bowl LX game in favor of the Seahawks. As per the Daily Mail, the athlete was questioned at the Pro Bowl Games about who would take the Lombardi Trophy this year. To which he responded with a bold take of Seattle taking away the victory from the team the Broncos lost to in the AFC Championship game.
In a tweet, Patrick can be seen replying, he says, “Umm… 35-7, Seattle” within seconds of the question. After dropping his prediction, the cornerback also passes a smile, which hints that his decisive answer lies more on the sarcasm side. Despite his real intention, his take on the Seahawks winning this Sunday may be appropriate, looking at their productive season.

Broncos’ Star Appears To Be Sarcastic, But He Could Have A Point
While Patrick could be making a point here, the 35-7 seems like a huge margin, which the athlete could have exaggerated due to the fresh AFC loss against the Patriots. Despite his sarcasm, a win could make sense if we look at the performance of Mike Macdonald’s team this season. The 31-27 win against the Los Angeles Rams is the coach’s best achievement yet, and with Darnold silencing his doubters, Super Bowl LX seems promising for the Seahawks.
The Patriots will be facing a team that tops defense, allowing around 17.2 points per game, anchored by shutdown corners and a pass rush. They are built around impressive cornerbacks who slow down receivers and a strong pass rush. Surtain’s team also faced similar units and reportedly fell short. But with the Patriots also showing a Super Bowl-worthy performance, the Seahawks seem to have a fair matchup.
As Patrick hasn’t publicly replied to his bold prediction, his real intent behind it remains unknown. The Super Bowl LX is just around the corner and is scheduled for Sunday, February 8, 2026. The final results will surely provide many answers.
