Santa Clara, Calif. — In a commanding performance on the sport’s biggest stage, the Seattle Seahawks captured their second Lombardi Trophy, defeating the New England Patriots 29–13 in Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday night.
From the opening kickoff, Seattle set the tone with a defensive onslaught that kept New England on its heels. The Seahawks’ “Dark Side” defense — led by standout playmakers like Devon Witherspoon, Derick Hall, Byron Murphy and Uchenna Nwosu — relentlessly pressured Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, registering six sacks and forcing key turnovers that tilted the game firmly in Seattle’s favor.
“We came in ready to play physical football and execute our game plan,” Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said after the game. “Our guys rose to the occasion.”
Defensive Dominance and Special Teams Heroics
Seattle opened the scoring with a string of field goals from kicker Jason Myers, who etched his name in Super Bowl lore by converting five successful attempts — a new record for most field goals in a single Super Bowl. 💫
Myers’ precision kept the Seahawks in front early and built momentum heading into halftime. The only offensive touchdown of the night came on a composed scoring strike from quarterback Sam Darnold to wide receiver A.J. Barner, giving Seattle a comfortable cushion.
Running back Kenneth Walker III also delivered a standout performance, rushing for over 130 yards and earning Super Bowl MVP honors, the first Seahawks running back to do so in nearly three decades.
Patriots’ Struggles and Second-Half Rally
The Patriots, led by rookie quarterback Drake Maye in his first Super Bowl appearance, struggled to find offensive rhythm against the Seahawks’ suffocating unit. New England finally broke into the end zone in the fourth quarter with a pair of touchdowns, but it wasn’t enough to close the gap.
“We fought hard all night,” said Patriots coach Mike Vrabel. “Credit to Seattle — their defense made life difficult for us. We’ll learn from this and come back stronger.”
A Night of Celebration and Spectacle
Off the field, Super Bowl LX delivered plenty of entertainment. The pre-game stage featured a stirring rendition of “Lift Every Voice and Sing” by singer Coco Jones, while the halftime show brought an energetic performance from Bad Bunny, joined by stars like Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin in a celebration of music and culture.
Across the stadium and living rooms nationwide, fans witnessed a defining moment in Seahawks history and another thrilling chapter in the NFL’s storied legacy. As confetti rained down and the Lombardi Trophy was raised aloft, Seattle’s players and supporters celebrated a memorable night of football excellence.
