This month at Football Film Room…
The Football Film Room Show - Episode #21

The Football Film Room Show - Episode #20
In episode #20 of The Football Film Room Show, I recap Super Bowl LX between the Seahawks and Patriots:
Super Bowl LX Recap: Patriots Offense vs. Seahawks Defense
The story of Super Bowl LX was total domination by the Seahawks defense. The final score of 29-13 doesn’t do justice to how much they smothered the Patriots.
Super Bowl LX Recap: Seahawks Offense vs. Patriots Defense
Right from the start of Super Bowl LX, it was clear what Mike Vrabel’s plan on defense was. He was going to force Sam Darnold to make a critical mistake.
Beating the Blitz (Baker Mayfield)
One of my favorite breakdowns of the 2025 season... Baker Mayfield exhibited PHD-level quarterbacking on this play.
Beating the Blitz (Tom Brady)
There is no better answer for the blitz than a quarterback who knows what he’s doing, and more importantly, knows what the defense is doing.
Beating the Blitz (Joe Burrow)
Any quarterback can throw hot vs. the blitz. The best ones try to set their protection at the line in a way that neutralizes the most likely blitz threat, allowing them to stick with the original route concept and attack downfield when the defense has fewer men in coverage.
An Unfair Steve Spagnuolo Safety Blitz
This safety blitz comes from the sick, sick mind of Chiefs Defensive Coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
Attacking with the Post-Wheel
One of the best route concepts in football is the post-wheel. It can be run against a multitude of coverages (man and zone), and there are so many different ways to dress it up, keeping the defense off the scent.
