Seahawks Claim Second Super Bowl Title
The Seattle Seahawks captured their second Super Bowl by defeating the New England Patriots 29-13 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Seattle’s defense dominated, sacking Patriots quarterback Drake Maye six times and forcing three turnovers. New England failed to score in the first three quarters, paying a figurative debt from their last meeting with Seattle 11 years ago.
The Seahawks’ offense leaned on kicker Jason Myers, who set a Super Bowl record with five field goals. Running back Kenneth Walker III earned MVP honors, describing the moment as “surreal.”

He honored his Puerto Rican heritage with dancers, Lady Gaga, and Ricky Martin. The Grammy winner emphasized unity with a football reading “Together we are America,” and the halftime wedding ceremony was real, adding a memorable moment to the performance.
