The Seattle Seahawks claimed their second Super Bowl title with a dominant 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX. Led by a suffocating defense that sacked Drake Maye seven times and forced three turnovers, the Seahawks proved they were the NFL's best team despite flying under the radar all season.

Seattle's defensive front, featuring standout performances from Derick Hall and Uchenna Nwosu, completely disrupted the Patriots' struggling offense. New England managed just 78 yards through three quarters and five first downs - the same number as Seattle's sacks. Quarterback Sam Darnold, playing with the security of a stellar defense behind him, managed the game effectively and connected with AJ Barner for the game's first touchdown.

Running back Kenneth Walker III earned Super Bowl MVP honors after a stellar performance, though punter Michael Dickson's monster night nearly stole the award. The victory validated general manager John Schneider's aggressive rebuild, which included hiring 38-year-old coach Mike Macdonald and trading past starting quarterbacks for Darnold at a reasonable $33.5 million per season. Seattle's triumph represents the culmination of a season where they overcame low expectations and division rival hype to establish themselves as the NFL's premier team.
