The New England Patriots are set to face the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl in two weeks. The Seahawks are looking to become the first team to win back-to-back Super Bowls since the Patriots did it in 2003 and 2004. The Patriots, meanwhile, are looking to win their fourth title in 14 years.

One of the major storylines heading into the game will surely be about the similarities to last year's matchup, when the Seahawks trounced the Denver Broncos. The Patriots are a high-powered offense, and Seattle once again brings an elite defense into the game. Last year, it was Seattle's dominant defense that won the day and the Lombardi Trophy.
As for recent history between the two teams, there is not much to talk about. The teams last played during the 2012 season. The Seahawks won the game 24-23, but the big story was - as it frequently is - Richard Sherman's trash talk after the game.

According to NJ.com, after the final whistle blew, Sherman went out of his way to taunt Tom Brady. During the game, Brady threw an interception to Sherman, and reportedly told him to "see him after the game" after the turnover. In return, Sherman posted a picture of him and Brady to his Twitter feed with the caption "U mad bro?" He later deleted the picture.
Sherman explained his side of things at the time, saying, "I kept saying I'm going to get that next time. Every TV timeout, I went up and said it right to [Brady]: 'Please keep trying me. I'm going to take it from you.' That was when they were winning. He just gave me that look and said, 'Oh, I'll see you after game.' Well, I made sure I saw him after the game."
Brady was asked this week if he remembers the incident and what he thought about Sherman's postgame taunting. "Truthfully at that time, I thought he was just coming up to say, 'Good game,'" Brady said, laughing. "That's all I thought it was, and you know it was loud after the game so I didn't hear anything.
"Then I went into the locker room after the game and everybody said, whatever it was the next day, where he said he was talking trash to me. But I thought he just came up and said, 'Good game,' so that was all a bit of a surprise to me."
