Seattle closed the 2025-26 NFL season on top Sunday, defeating New England 29-13 in Super Bowl LX after a defensive struggle that steadily tilted in the Seahawks' favor at Levi's Stadium.
The victory delivered Seattle's second Lombardi Trophy and served as a reversal of fortune from the teams' previous Super Bowl meeting, when New England edged the Seahawks in 2015.
Quarterback Sam Darnold guided a balanced Seahawks offense, while the defense harassed Patriots rookie passer Drake Maye throughout the night, forcing turnovers and keeping New England scoreless for most of the game.
Seattle's scoring was fueled by running back Kenneth Walker III's physical performance and kicker Jason Myers, who converted five field goals, setting a Super Bowl record.
Walker finished with more than 150 yards from scrimmage and was named the game's Most Valuable Player, capping a season that culminated on the sport's biggest stage.
Much had changed since the franchises last met on this stage, with New England led by first-year head coach Mike Vrabel and 23-year-old quarterback Drake Maye.
For Seattle, the win marked a return to championship form behind a revamped roster and a defense that dictated the tempo from the opening kickoff.
The night also delivered spectacle beyond the field, as Bad Bunny headlined the halftime show, celebrating unity and heritage, while Green Day, Charlie Puth, Brandi Carlile and Coco Jones performed before kickoff.
When the final whistle sounded, the Seahawks stood alone, having closed the season with a definitive win that reinforced their place among the NFL's elite.
The triumph sent fans into celebration back home and hinted at sustained success, as Seattle blends veteran leadership with emerging stars, aiming to build a new era defined by consistency, resilience, and postseason ambition following a season that exceeded expectations leaguewide overall.
