On February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium, the Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots 29-13 to win Super Bowl LX and their second franchise title. Their defense stopped Patriots QB Drake Maye with six sacks and two picks, one of which was a 44-yard pick-six by Uchenna Nwosu that sealed the 29-7 lead late in the game. This win made up for their heartbreaking loss to New England in Super Bowl XLIX in 2015, when they lost 28–24.
Kenneth Walker III, a running back, was named Super Bowl MVP. He was the first RB to win the award since 1998. Walker III had 135 rushing yards on 27 carries and 26 receiving yards for a total of 161 yards. He ran for 94 yards in the first half alone, the second-most in Super Bowl history. This helped Jason Myers set an NFL record with five field goals. Walker ran for 313 yards in the playoffs, just short of Marshawn Lynch’s franchise record.
Seattle’s defense kept New England from scoring for three quarters, and Maye only threw for 240 yards. The Seahawks had more total yards, 335 to 331. Key stops were pinning the Patriots deep and forcing turnovers that changed the game’s momentum. Sam Darnold did a good job running the offense, but the defense and special teams, like Michael Dickson’s punts, won the game.
