GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) – Imagine Dragons bassist Ben McKee has a simple reason he wants the New England Patriots to win the Super Bowl – he doesn’t want to see the Seattle Seahawks made into heroes.

McKee is a native of Forestville in Northern California and roots for the San Francisco 49ers. He doesn’t want to see any good fortune visit a division rival, even if the Patriots have been criticized by some for playing an entire half of their last game with underinflated footballs.

“I would hate to see the Seahawks as heroes,” McKee said on Friday before he and his band played the DirecTV Super Fan Fest in Glendale, Ariz.

Imagine Dragons won a Grammy Award for their song “Radioactive,” and their next album will be released in February.
