After the Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl 60, star linebacker Ernest Jones IV took the opportunity to fire back at the team's doubters during the Seahawks' championship parade. Jones delivered an expletive-laden rant, telling the team's critics "If you got anything to say about my QB, you got anything to say about my defense, you got anything to say about my o-line, and you got anything to say about the city of Seattle... I got two words for you: F*** YOU."

Why it matters

The Seahawks faced plenty of doubters heading into the Super Bowl, with questions surrounding their young quarterback Sam Darnold and first-year head coach. However, the team's dominant defensive performance and Darnold's steady play proved the critics wrong, leading to the franchise's second Super Bowl title. Jones' fiery response at the parade underscores the team's pride in silencing their naysayers.

The details

The Seahawks' defense set the tone in the Super Bowl, shutting out the Patriots through the first three quarters and sacking quarterback Drake Maye six times while forcing two interceptions and a fumble. Jones himself had 11 tackles and a tackle for loss in the win. On offense, Darnold completed 67.7% of his passes for 4,048 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions during the regular season, proving his breakout 2024 campaign was no fluke. In the Super Bowl, Darnold threw for 202 yards and a touchdown without turning the ball over.
