Seahawks Defeat Patriots Over A Decade After Crushing Super Bowl Loss

The Seattle Seahawks avenged their Super Bowl XLIX loss with a win against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX witha 29-13 victory.

The Seahawks held the Patriots scoreless through three quarters. This was the second time in Super Bowl history that a team has gone scoreless through three quarters. The Seahawks never trailed in this game.

Kenneth Walker III won the Super Bowl MVP award with 135 rushing yards on 27 carries. Backup running back Zack Charbonnet got injured during the divisional round against the San Francisco 49ers. Since then, almost all the carries have gone to Walker III. 

Kicker Jason Myers set a Super Bowl record with five field goals made. None of these field goals were long, with all of them being within 45 yards, but they were still important. Through three quarters, Myers was responsible for all the points in the game.

The Patriots were unable to protect their quarterback, Drake Maye. He took six sacks. Rookie offensive lineman Will Campbell and Jared Wilson simply looked overmatched. Pro Football Focus ranked the Patriots’ offensive line as the 11th best during the regular season. 

The only reason the game wasn’t a complete disaster for the Patriots was due to cornerback Christian Gonzalez. He had four tackles and three pass deflections. Beyond that, he did a good job of limiting the Seahawks passing game. 2025 Offensive Player of the Year Jaxson Smith-Njigba was held to just 27 receiving yards. 

Once the dust settles, the Seahawks will need to choose if they want to extend Walker III and find a new offensive coordinator, since Klint Kubiak was hired by the Las Vegas Raiders as their new head coach just hours after the game ended. Meanwhile, the Patriots will need to learn from this experience. It’s unlikely there’s any major moves they can make that would’ve changed the outcome.
