In an impressive display of defensive prowess, the Seattle Seahawks secured their second Super Bowl title by defeating the New England Patriots 29-13 at Levi's Stadium, marking a landmark moment for the franchise.

The Seattle Seahawks emerged victorious in Super Bowl 60, showcasing a formidable defense that stymied the New England Patriots. With six sacks and three forced turnovers, the Seahawks secured a convincing 29-13 win, emphasizing their dominance in this championship clash. Kenneth Walker was named MVP after a standout performance, contributing significantly to Seattle's historic win.

The Seattle Seahawks produced a devastating defensive display to beat the New England Patriots and claim their second Super Bowl victory.

Two of the NFL's strongest defenses battled it out in Sunday's showpiece, and the Seahawks emphatically came out on top to win 29-13 at Levi's Stadium.

It was a defensive performance for the ages, with Briton Aden Durde playing a pivotal role, becoming the first overseas coach to win America's biggest game.

Seattle's 46-year-old defensive coordinator has helped create a fierce defense known as 'the Dark Side', which showcased its capabilities on American football's biggest stage in Santa Clara, California.

New England's quarterback Drake Maye, who narrowly missed out on this season's MVP award, was stifled by the Seahawks' defense, which recorded six sacks, forced three turnovers, and scored a defensive touchdown.

Seattle led 9-0 at half-time, and Maye's first turnover resulted in the game's opening touchdown for tight end AJ Barner early in the fourth quarter. Linebacker Uchenna Nwosu then returned an interception for a 45-yard touchdown, while Jason Meyers kicked a record five field goals.

We were the better team, we're the best team. We loved each other, we believed in each other, and now we're champions, said Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald, commending his players for their exceptional performance.

Seattle's quarterback Sam Darnold also celebrated the team's achievement, emphasizing the hard work that went into securing the title and acknowledging the stellar performances from both the offense and defense.

The Seahawks' triumph denied the Patriots a record seventh Super Bowl win, continuing a surprising turn of events for New England since the departure of legendary quarterback Tom Brady and head coach Bill Belichick.

As part of a season marked by highs and lows, New England head coach Mike Vrabel, a former linebacker with three Super Bowl wins, was unable to achieve the historic feat of winning a Super Bowl as a player and head coach with the same franchise.
