The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks held their final practices on Friday ahead of Super Bowl LX. Both teams took a business-as-usual approach, focusing on game preparation and managing injuries. The Patriots simulated the longer Super Bowl halftime, while the Seahawks ran their typical 'ACT' (alignment, communication, technique) session. Injured players like the Patriots' Robert Spillane and Harold Landry were limited participants, while the Seahawks' Nick Emmanwori returned to a normal workload after missing time earlier in the week.
