The Seattle Seahawks are Super Bowl champions again.
They beat New England 29–13 at Levi’s Stadium in a game that was controlled from the start and never seriously challenged. Seattle built an early lead, protected it, and closed without drama.

Kenneth Walker III set the tone. He rushed for 135 yards, broke multiple long runs early, and forced New England to abandon balance before the game settled in. His performance earned Super Bowl MVP and kept the Seahawks in favorable situations all night.
"You're a Super Bowl Champion. No one can take that from us."

Sam Darnold played a clean game. He finished with 202 yards and a touchdown while dealing with injury. He avoided turnovers, managed the offense efficiently, and made the throws required to sustain drives. The Seahawks did not need him to take risks, and he didn’t.
Seattle’s defense decided the rest. Drake Maye was pressured constantly, sacked six times, and forced into turnovers as the pocket collapsed. New England struggled to establish any offensive rhythm, falling behind early and failing to recover.
The win carried added meaning. This result came against the same franchise that beat Seattle in Super Bowl XLIX. After twelve seasons without a title, the Seahawks ended the drought with a decisive performance on both sides of the ball.
Walker credited his faith in his postgame remarks. Darnold described the moment as a dream realized. For Seattle, the night confirmed the formula that carried them through the postseason: control the run game, protect the football, and let the defense dictate terms.
