Seahawks Dominate Patriots in Super Bowl LX Statement Win
This year’s Super Bowl delivered explosive plays and standout performances from start to finish. The game took place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, with kickoff set for 6:30 pm. The matchup featured the Seattle Seahawks against the New England Patriots. Physical play defined the night, though only one team emerged on top. Seattle claimed the Lombardi Trophy with a 29-13 victory, securing its latest Super Bowl championship. Both teams competed with intensity throughout the game, and several key moments shaped the final outcome. Below are the top takeaways from this year’s championship matchup.
The Seahawks Defense Was on Fire
From the moment that the game started, the Seattle Seahawks kept the New England Patriots at bay. They did not allow them to score anything early on. The Patriots were forced to punt on every drive during the first half. The Seahawks also sacked the Patriots quarterback, Drake Maye, multiple times throughout the game. He was mainly sacked by defensive players such as Devon Witherspoon, Derick Hall, and Rylie Mills. The Seahawks maintained that pressure for all four quarters, preventing the Patriots from finding any offensive rhythm.
Seattle's Run Game Was Huge
The Seahawks took the game away from the Patriots altogether. The Patriots would easily give up the ball on multiple occasions, and the Seahawks took full advantage. They used as many plays as possible. However, they ran the ball the most. The man behind all of tonight’s running in this game was Kenneth Walker III. In total, Walker ran for 161 rushing yards. When they found that passing wasn’t working, they put Walker in, and he got the ball moving down the field. It didn’t matter what point in the game it was. When they needed him to get the ball moving, he did it without issue and broke through each time the Patriots tried to stop him.
The Patriots Struggled Offensively
The Patriots had a rough night altogether. They broke records in the worst way possible. Maye overtook Joe Burrow's record of being sacked the most in a Super Bowl. New England also made it so that the game they played did not have any scoring until the second half. This is only the second time in Super Bowl history that this has happened. It may take an entire team to mess things up on a football field, but Maye could not simply get it together on the field. He had three fumbles, one interception, and was sacked on multiple occasions. It didn’t matter how hard Maye had tried to get the ball to his receivers or his running back, he had trouble making the connections. Even when targets such as Hunter Henry had opportunities, passes slipped away or fell incomplete. The combination of turnovers, pressure, and missed connections prevented New England from mounting a meaningful comeback.
