Super Bowl 60 Recap: Seahawks Dominate Patriots 29–13 to Capture Championship Glory

The Seattle Seahawks delivered a commanding performance in Super Bowl 60, defeating the New England Patriots 29–13 in a game defined by defensive dominance, balanced offense, and timely playmaking. From the opening kickoff, Seattle imposed its physicality on both sides of the ball, controlling the tempo and capitalizing on New England’s mistakes to secure another Lombardi Trophy.

Offensively, the Seahawks totaled 335 yards of total offense, showcasing balance and efficiency. Quarterback Sam Darnold completed 19 of 38 passes for 202 yards and one touchdown, managing the game effectively while avoiding costly errors. Seattle leaned heavily on its ground attack, with Kenneth Walker III delivering a standout performance. Walker carried the ball 27 times for 135 rushing yards, consistently breaking tackles and keeping the Patriots’ defense on the field. In the passing game, Cooper Rush led all receivers with six receptions for 61 yards, while tight end AJ Barner proved to be a red-zone threat, hauling in four receptions for 54 yards and a touchdown.

Seattle’s defense was the true difference-maker on football’s biggest stage. The Seahawks recorded 63 total tackles, six sacks, 11 quarterback hits, and two interceptions, relentlessly pressuring the Patriots’ offense. Linebacker Uchenna Nwosu delivered one of the defining moments of the game with a 45-yard interception return for a touchdown, swinging momentum firmly in Seattle’s favor. The defense also forced a fumble that was returned for a touchdown, turning New England’s offensive miscues directly into points and creating an insurmountable gap on the scoreboard.

Despite the loss, the Patriots showed flashes of competitiveness but struggled to sustain drives. New England’s inability to convert on third down (6-for-15) repeatedly stalled offensive momentum, while turnovers placed additional strain on an already overworked defense. For Seattle, even in victory, improvement areas remain. The Seahawks converted just 4 of 16 third-down attempts, an inefficiency that could pose challenges in future matchups despite the dominant final score.

In the end, Super Bowl 60 was a statement win for the Seattle Seahawks—a performance built on physical defense, a powerful running game, and opportunistic playmaking. By controlling the trenches and capitalizing on turnovers, Seattle left no doubt about the outcome, cementing their championship legacy and setting the standard for the season ahead.
