The Seattle Seahawks have officially been crowned world champions after defeating the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl LX, according to @AdamSchefter. The victory at Levi's Stadium marks the second Super Bowl title in franchise history and the first for the team since 2014.
Running back Kenneth Walker III earned Super Bowl MVP honors after rushing for 135 yards on the ground. Quarterback Sam Darnold finished the night with 202 passing yards and one touchdown to tight end A.J. Barner. Kicker Jason Myers also made NFL history during the contest, setting a new Super Bowl record by converting five field goals to help Seattle maintain a lead throughout the game.
The Seahawks defense, led by head coach Mike Macdonald, recorded six sacks against Patriots quarterback Drake Maye and forced three total turnovers. Linebacker Uchenna Nwosu secured the win in the fourth quarter with a 45-yard defensive touchdown. The Patriots were held scoreless until the third quarter and finished with only 13 points as the Seattle secondary accounted for two interceptions.
This championship victory comes exactly eleven years after the Seahawks last faced the Patriots in a Super Bowl. The team is expected to participate in an official trophy presentation tonight before returning to Seattle for a victory parade.
