Super Bowl LX Recap: Seahawks ride dominant defense to 29-13 win over Patriots, franchise's second title

The Athletic

09 February 2026

Any short list of the best stories in the NFL this season would have to include the Seattle Seahawks' dominant defense, Sam Darnold's full redemption, and Seattle's ceaseless climb to the top of the league. So it was perhaps fitting that all three of those stories came together on Super Bowl Sunday, resulting in another Lombardi Trophy making its way to the Pacific Northwest. Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman recap the Seahawks' 29-13 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX live from Levi's Stadium on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.
