Seahawks Soar to Super Bowl Victory Over Patriots in 2026 Rematch
SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA – The Seattle Seahawks secured their second Super Bowl title on Sunday, defeating the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium. The victory, a rematch of the 2015 Super Bowl, saw the Seahawks avenge their previous loss and deny the Patriots their seventh Super Bowl win, according to CBS News.
The Seahawks' defense played a pivotal role in the victory, with players like Devon Witherspoon, Derick Hall, and Byron Murphy leading a "ferocious unit" that "pummeled" Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, as reported by ABC News. Seahawks kicker Jason Myers set a Super Bowl record by converting all five of his field goal attempts. Quarterback Sam Darnold threw for 202 yards and one touchdown to AJ Barner, while running back Kenneth Walker III earned Super Bowl MVP honors with 135 rushing yards, the first running back to receive the award since an unspecified time, according to CBS News and ABC News.
The game marked the fourth Super Bowl appearance for the Seahawks, with their first appearance occurring 20 years prior, resulting in a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to CBS News. The victory was celebrated by head coach Mike MacDonald, along with Darnold and Walker III, who were seen celebrating with the Lombardi Trophy.
The halftime show featured a performance by global sensation Bad Bunny, who brought his Puerto Rican culture to the stage with a set that included his hit song "Tití Me Preguntó," according to ABC News. The performance, which took place at the same time as a counterprogrammed show by Turning Point USA, headlined by Kid Rock, marked a turning point for the Spanish-language genre.
