Bill Belichick: "Seattle is a tough matchup for Denver"

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick feels that the Seattle Seahawks' defense is a "tough" matchup for the Denver Broncos to face in the Super Bowl.

The best offense in the history of the NFL goes against the best statistical defense from the 2013 season at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.

Belichick believes that the Seahawks can pose Peyton Manning problems with their physical play.

He told the New York Daily News: "I think Seattle is a tough matchup for Denver. They don't have to do things much differently than they have been doing.

"They're looking for enough pass rush and doing enough to jam receivers to cause problems for him doing the things he likes to do.

"And the amount of zone they play could be a problem for him. But of course that becomes a problem for Seattle if Manning is picking them apart."

Belichick's Patriots were beaten by the Broncos in the AFC championship game two weeks ago.
