On an evening that saw New England blitz at the third-highest rate in Super Bowl history — 58 percent of Seattle’s dropbacks — it was of great irony that Milton Williams needed only a four-man rush to offer his greatest highlight. A trusted anchor at the heart of the Patriots’ defense, Williams shook off multiple Seahawks on one particular pass rush, keeping his team’s comeback hopes alive with a fierce, second-half takedown that forced a 2nd & 18. Victory wasn’t meant to be on Feb. 8, 2026, but even despite the 29-13 loss, Williams settled among the pass-rushing elites, complementing the sack with two TFLs and a QB hit.
