Super Bowl LX Recap: Seahawks Ride Defense to 29-13 Win Over Patriots

The Seattle Seahawks won Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026, defeating the New England Patriots 29-13 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Seattle rode its "Dark Side" defense and a dominant ground game to its second Super Bowl title, its first since 2014.

Final Score

Seattle Seahawks 29, New England Patriots 13

MVP: Kenneth Walker III

Running back Kenneth Walker III was named Super Bowl MVP after rushing for 135 yards, becoming the first running back to win the award since Terrell Davis 28 years ago. Walker powered the Seahawks' offense and helped control the clock as Seattle's defense shut down Patriots quarterback Drake Maye.

Key Performances

  • Kicker Jason Myers set a Super Bowl record by making all five field-goal attempts.
  • Quarterback Sam Darnold threw a touchdown pass to AJ Barner and went 19 of 38 for 202 yards with no turnovers in three playoff games.
  • Defensive end Uchenna Nwosu recorded a pick-six, returning an interception 45 yards for a touchdown after Devon Witherspoon hit Drake Maye's arm on the throw.

    • Defensive Dominance

    The Seahawks' "Dark Side" defense, led by defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald and featuring Devon Witherspoon, Derick Hall, and Byron Murphy, dominated Patriots quarterback Drake Maye throughout the game. Seattle's second Super Bowl title echoed its first in 2014, when the "Legion of Boom" defense led the way.

    Bottom Line

    Seattle finished the season 17-3 and claimed the Lombardi Trophy. AthX is adding NFL next season—so you'll be able to trade player shares when we go live.
