For as long as elite NFL defenses have existed, history shows that they’ve often shared one common trait: the ability to “bend but not break” when opposing offenses start thinking touchdown. K’Lavon Chaisson helped New England look the part during Super Bowl LX’s first half, turning a speedy, free rush of the quarterback into a blindside hit — and a near “strip sack” — that ultimately forced Seattle to settle for a field goal. Defensive plays of that caliber helped the Patriots keep competitive, despite what became a 29-13 loss on Feb. 8, 2026; Chaisson closed with a tackle (a TFL) and a QB hit.
