The Seattle Seahawks exorcised old demons and reclaimed their place at the summit of American football with a commanding victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX, producing a performance defined by discipline, defensive authority and clinical execution on the biggest stage.
Seattle secured a convincing 29–13 triumph at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, delivering the franchise’s second Lombardi Trophy and avenging the painful memory of their heartbreaking defeat to the Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX more than a decade ago. The Seahawks took control early and never relinquished their grip, dominating key moments on both sides of the ball to silence a Patriots side that had defied expectations throughout the season.
The Seahawks’ defense proved decisive, forcing critical turnovers and repeatedly stalling New England’s attempts to build momentum. Their physical front disrupted the Patriots’ rhythm, while the secondary tightened in crucial third-down situations to protect a growing lead.
Seattle’s offense complemented the defensive effort with efficient game management, capitalising on short fields and sustaining time-consuming drives that kept the Patriots’ unit under pressure. By the fourth quarter, the contest had tilted firmly in the Seahawks’ favour, allowing them to close out the game with composure.
The defeat ended New England’s remarkable postseason run, which had been built on resilience and tactical discipline under head coach Mike Vrabel. However, the Patriots struggled to match Seattle’s intensity on the night, with costly mistakes and stalled drives undermining their hopes of adding another championship to their storied history.
The victory marks a defining moment in the Seahawks’ modern era, symbolising both redemption and resurgence as the franchise reasserts itself among the NFL’s elite. For Seattle, Super Bowl LX was more than a win—it was the long-awaited closure to a rivalry that once delivered one of the most painful losses in franchise history.
