Seahawks Dominate Super Bowl LX, Defense Powers 29–13 Victory Over Patriots

Santa Clara, California — On football’s grandest stage, the Seattle Seahawks delivered a performance built on discipline, defense, and relentless pressure, defeating the New England Patriots 29–13 in Super Bowl LX. It was not a game defined by offensive fireworks, but by a defensive masterclass that steadily drained the life out of New England’s hopes.

From the opening drives, Seattle’s defense set the tone. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye faced constant pressure, rarely finding a comfortable pocket as the Seahawks’ pass rush closed in again and again. By the end of the night, Seattle had recorded six sacks and forced three turnovers, each one shifting momentum further in their favor.

The defining moment came late in the game. Linebacker Uchenna Nwosu stepped in front of a pass and returned it 45 yards for a touchdown, effectively extinguishing any realistic chance of a Patriots comeback. It was a play that embodied Seattle’s identity all season — fast, physical, and opportunistic.

Head coach Mike Macdonald, visibly emotional afterward, credited the unity of his team. “The way our guys are connected… they came together for a common goal,” he said. “You can’t get much better than that.”

While the defense dominated headlines, Seattle’s offense executed efficiently when it mattered. Quarterback Sam Darnold, long considered a journeyman, delivered a poised performance, passing for 202 yards and a touchdown while avoiding costly mistakes. After the game, Darnold reflected on his journey, thanking his parents for helping him maintain confidence throughout his career.

Running back Kenneth Walker III provided the offensive engine, earning Super Bowl MVP honors with 135 rushing yards and 26 receiving yards. With injuries thinning Seattle’s backfield, Walker carried much of the load and consistently moved the chains in crucial moments.

Perhaps the most unusual highlight came from special teams. Kicker Jason Myers etched his name into Super Bowl history by converting five field goals, a record that proved decisive in a game where every point carried weight.

New England’s defense kept the Seahawks from pulling away early, but the Patriots’ offense struggled mightily. Through three quarters, New England managed only five first downs, finding the end zone only after the outcome was largely decided.

The halftime show, headlined by global superstar Bad Bunny with appearances by Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, energized the crowd at Levi’s Stadium, but the night ultimately belonged to the Seahawks’ defense and their methodical approach to winning football.

Macdonald, at 38, became one of the youngest coaches ever to win a Super Bowl, calling the moment “surreal” and praising Seahawks fans, who traveled in force to support their team.
