Summary
Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald won his first Super Bowl in only his second season, leading the team to a 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX. The Seahawks’ defense dominated the game, sacking Patriots quarterback Drake Maye six times and forcing two interceptions and a fumble. The team finished the 2025 season with a 14-3 record, won the NFC West, and won their first Super Bowl since the 2013 season.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script. Seattle’s defense was lights out, and the Patriots’ offense looked lost. Drake Maye was under pressure all night, and it showed in his stats. Six sacks and three turnovers will get you beat every time.
Seattle’s defense was the story of the game, and it’s no surprise they came out on top. They’ve been stout all season, and it paid off in the biggest game of the year.
The Seahawks’ offense did just enough to win, but it was all about the D. They made the Patriots’ offense look like a high school team at times.
This one felt recognizable early. Seattle’s defense was going to be the key to the game, and it proved to be true.
And in the end, it wasn’t surprising by the end. The Seahawks’ defense was the difference-maker, and that’s what won them the Super Bowl.
Original Observation: The Seahawks’ Super Bowl win was a validation of their dominant regular season, where they finished first in points allowed and sixth in yards allowed.
