Seahawks Win Super Bowl LX
Seattle Defense Dominates Patriots
Frank Coyle / Pro scout
The Seattle Seahawks completed their magical season with their 2nd Super Bowl title in history. Their dominant aggressive defense prevailed over the young Patriots offense 29-13.
The Seattle ground game shined behind runner Kenneth Walker who rushed for 135 yards on 27 carries and 2 receptions. He earned the game MVP award, the first time a running back has won the award since Terrell Davis in 1997. QB Sam Darnold had a solid if unspectacular performance throwing for 202 yards passing and 1 TD with no turnovers. He completed one of the greatest turnarounds in NFL history with three postseason games. He won 31 games over the past two seasons, a new NFL record. He was part of the 2018 NFL Draft class which produced 5 QBs chosen in the first round, Baker Mayfield (1), Darnold (3), Josh Allen ((7), Josh Rosen (10) and Lamar Jackson (32). Darnold is the first one to win a Super Bowl and also the first QB to win the NFL title with his 5th club.
The Patriots struggled to protect QB Drake Maye for 60 minutes and their ground game produced a paltry 79 yards. The Seahawks defense registered 6 sacks and applied constant pressure to disrupt the Patriots offense while Seattle punter Michael Dickson pinned them deep in their territory, averaging over 47 yards per kick including three inside the 20 yard line with two of them inside the 5 yard line.
