Eleven years after a heartbreaking goal-line interception defined their last meeting, the Seattle Seahawks finally found their redemption in a dominant 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX. Seattle's 'Dark Side' defense tormented Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, recording six sacks, while running back Kenneth Walker III earned MVP honors with 135 rushing yards on 27 carries.

Why it matters

This victory serves as a full-circle moment for the Seahawks, erasing the 'what-ifs' of the past and cementing a new era of dominance in the Pacific Northwest, as well as a new king of the NFC West and the NFC.

The details

Seattle's offense struggled to find the end zone early, but kicker Jason Myers set a Super Bowl record by converting five field goals. The tide turned in the fourth quarter when a strip-sack by Derick Hall gave Seattle prime field position, leading to a touchdown pass from quarterback Sam Darnold to tight end AJ Barner. Shortly after, linebacker Uchenna Nwosu intercepted Maye and returned it 45 yards for a score, sealing the victory for the Seahawks.
