NFL-Patriots, Seahawks arrive in San Jose ahead of Super Bowl showdown

The New England Patriots and Seattle ‌Seahawks arrived in San Jose, California, on Sunday to begin weeklong preparations ⁠for Super Bowl LX in nearby Santa Clara. The Patriots touched down first, with players and coaches ​exiting their plane to partly sunny skies. The ‍Seahawks arrived approximately 90 minutes later after a send-off parade of fans in cloudy Seattle.

Both teams are scheduled ⁠to ‌meet with ⁠the media on Monday during Super Bowl Opening Night, ‍the traditional start to game-week festivities. The Seahawks are returning ​to the Super Bowl for the first time ⁠since falling to New England in the championship game ⁠11 years ago. The Patriots, considered underdogs in this matchup, are pursuing a record seventh ⁠Super Bowl title and their first since 2019.

The Super ⁠Bowl ‌kicks off on February 8 at 6:30 p.m. ET (2230 GMT).
