The Seattle Seahawks triumphed over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX on Sunday, securing a 29-13 victory and the Lombardi Trophy, according to Fortune. The game, which aired on NBC, Peacock, and Telemundo, drew an average of 124.9 million viewers, a slight decrease of 2.8 million from the previous year's Super Bowl, as reported by Variety. The Seahawks' victory marked their second Super Bowl win.
The Seahawks' head coach, Mike Macdonald, led his team to victory at the age of 38, a feat attributed to an early career gamble, according to Fortune. Macdonald, who holds a master's degree in sports management from the University of Georgia, had a job offer from the global accounting firm KPMG after his four-year stint with the university's football team. "It felt like it was time, that there wasn't anything that was going to come up," Macdonald told The Athletic, as reported by Fortune.
