SANTA
CLARA,
CA -The
Seattle
Seahawks
overpowered
the New
England
Patriots
29–13 in
Super
Bowl LX
on
Sunday
night,
riding a
suffocating
defense
and a
vintage
performance
from
running
back
Kenneth
Walker
III to
secure
the
franchise’s
second
Lombardi
Trophy.
Final
score
and
stakes
Seattle
defeated
New
England
29–13 in
Super
Bowl LX,
a
rematch
of their
classic
Super
Bowl
XLIX
showdown.
The
victory
gives
the
Seahawks
their
second
Super
Bowl
title,
while
the
Patriots’
bid for
another
championship
under
first-year
Super
Bowl
quarterback
Drake
Maye
fell
short.
Kenneth
Walker
III
leads
the way
Seahawks
running
back
Kenneth
Walker
III was
named
Super
Bowl MVP
after
totaling
161
yards
from
scrimmage,
including
135
rushing
yards on
27
carries.
Walker
repeatedly
gashed
New
England
with
chunk
runs,
posting
first-half
rushing
numbers
that
rank
among
the best
in Super
Bowl
history
and
setting
up
multiple
Jason
Myers
field
goals
with
explosive
gains of
29 and
30 yards
on a key
second-quarter
drive.
Defense
sets the
tone
Seattle’s
defense
kept the
Patriots
off the
scoreboard
for
three
quarters,
holding
New
England
to a
single
first
down in
the
third
quarter
and
bottling
up Maye
until
the
final
period.
Linebacker
Derick
Hall
forced a
pivotal
third-quarter
strip
sack for
the
game’s
first
turnover,
and in
the
fourth
quarter
Uchenna
Nwosu
and
safety
Julian
Love
each
added
interceptions
to snuff
out any
comeback
hopes.
Patriots’
late
push
falls
short
Trailing
19–0 in
the
fourth
quarter,
Maye
finally
put New
England
on the
board
with a
35‑yard
touchdown
strike
to wide
receiver
Mack
Hollins
to cut
the
deficit
to 19–7
with
just
over 12
minutes
left.
Maye
later
added a
touchdown
pass to
running
back
Rhamondre
Stevenson,
but
Seattle’s
takeaways
and
clock‑draining
ground
game
prevented
the
Patriots
from
ever
getting
within
one
score.
Special
teams
and key
numbers
Seahawks
kicker
Jason
Myers
set a
Super
Bowl
record
with
five
made
field
goals,
connecting
from 33,
39, 41,
41 and
26 yards
as
Seattle
steadily
built
its
lead.
Seattle
led 3–0
after
the
first
quarter,
9–0 at
halftime,
and 12–0
after
three
quarters
before
outscoring
New
England
17–13 in
a more
wide‑open
fourth,
closing
out a
wire‑to‑wire
performance
that
underscored
the
Seahawks’
balance
and
control.
