Super Bowl 2026: Winners, History, and Coco Jones' Anthem

The New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks faced off in Super Bowl LX on Sunday, marking the Seahawks' fourth appearance in the championship game, more than a decade after their 2015 loss to the Patriots. The game, held at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, saw the Patriots entering with a 17-3 record and the Seahawks with a 16-3 record, setting the stage for an evenly matched contest, according to CBS News.

The Seahawks entered the game with one Super Bowl win, which came in 2014 when they defeated the Denver Broncos 43-8 in Super Bowl XLVIII, according to CBS News. Their first Super Bowl appearance, 20 years prior, ended in a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Patriots, on the other hand, have six Super Bowl titles, with their most recent win in 2019, as reported by CBS News.

The highly anticipated game included performances by Grammy-winning singer Coco Jones, who performed "Lift Every Voice and Sing," also known as the Black national anthem, at the start of the Super Bowl, according to CBS News. The song, written by James Weldon Johnson in 1899, has a long history, having first been performed by a choir of 500 schoolchildren in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1900.

Bad Bunny performed during the halftime show, though he would only earn union scale for the performance, a minimum fee guaranteed under labor contracts, according to CBS News. Despite the modest payday, the Puerto Rican superstar expressed excitement for the show, describing it as "a huge party," according to CBS News.
