The Seattle Seahawks won the National Football League (NFL) championship title after defeating the New England Patriots 29:13 in Super Bowl 60 in Santa Clara.
This is the Seahawks' second title in the Super Bowl era, while they won their first in 2013 with a victory over the Denver Broncos.
Seattle running back Kenneth Walker was named the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of this year's Super Bowl.
Walker thus became the first player at the running back position to win that award since 1998, when the award went to Terrell Davis.
The Seattle running back gained a total of 135 yards on 27 attempts in this year's Super Bowl, and also caught two balls for 26 yards.
Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold gained 202 total yards passing, completing 19 of 38 passes. Darnold managed to finish the game without a single turnover.
Darnold's only touchdown pass was caught by AJ Barner, and the most receiving yards (61) for Seattle in this year's Super Bowl was won by Cooper Cupp.
Seattle's defense forced three turnovers for New England. May's passes were intercepted by Julian Love and Uchenna Nwosu, who returned the ball for a touchdown for his team, while the Patriots' only fumble was forced by Derrick Hall and recovered by Byron Murphy.
The Seahawks' tackle leader was Ernest Jones with 11 tackles.
Seahawks shooting guard Jason Myers hit all of his shots - two extra points and five field goals, making him the player with the most three-point shots made in a single Super Bowl.
New England quarterback Drake May gained 295 yards passing. Out of 43 passing attempts, he was accurate 27 times, threw two touchdown passes, while his two pass attempts were intercepted. He also lost one ball by "fumble".
May also led his team in rushing yards with 37 from five attempts, while he led the team in passing yards (78) with catches from Mack Hollins, who also caught the pass for his team's first touchdown of the game.
May's second touchdown pass was caught by Patriots running back Ramondre Stevenson, who gained a total of 23 yards on his runs.
On New England's defense, the only player with double-digit tackles was Craig Woodson with 10 tackles, three of which were for loss of yards.
Seattle had the first possession of the game, and they started off strong, winning three first downs in their first four drives. The Patriots defense did a good job in their own half, holding their opponents to just one field goal, which kicker Jason Myers made to give the Seahawks a 3–0 lead with three minutes left in the game.
After excellent defensive play by both teams, the next four possessions (two by New England and two by Seattle) ended without points, so the Seahawks still had a 3:0 lead at the end of the first quarter.
The second quarter began with another defended possession by the Seahawks, who managed to prevent the Patriots from scoring for the third time.
The Seahawks' offense on their next possession relied heavily on running back Kenneth Walker, who ran for 30 and then 29 yards to put his team in good position in the opposing half. The Patriots' defense again held the Seahawks out of their end zone, and Myers made another field goal to extend Seattle's lead to 6–0 with 11 minutes left in the second quarter.
New England's offense failed to find its rhythm and score points in the second quarter. Seattle's defense put pressure on Patriots quarterback Drake May in a great way, while in the last minute of the second quarter, the Seahawks increased their advantage through Myers' third field goal and went into halftime with a 9:0 lead.
During the halftime show of this year's Super Bowl, Latin pop star Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, better known by his stage name Bad Bunny, famous American singer Lady Gaga, and Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin performed.
After managing to defend on their first possession of the third quarter, Seattle started the next possession with a few good passes from quarterback Sam Darnold. Darnold got his team within 22 yards of the end zone of the Patriots, but then he was inaccurate on two consecutive passes to Cooper Kapp. The Seahawks decided to kick another field goal on fourth down, and Myers' fourth three-pointer gave them a 12–0 lead with nine minutes left in the third quarter.
There were no more points in the remainder of the quarter, and the final drive of the third quarter ended with a Patriots turnover. Seahawks linebacker Derrick Hall managed to knock the ball out of May's hands with 16 seconds left in the third quarter, which was then picked up by Byron Murphy in the New England half.
Seattle's offense took advantage of the good field position provided by the defense and scored the first touchdown of the game with a pass from Darnold to AJ Barner. Myers hit the extra point shot to extend Seattle's lead to 19–0 with 13 minutes left in the game.
The Patriots scored their first points of the game on the next possession, just a minute into the game, after May threw a 35-yard pass to Mack Hollins for a touchdown. New England shooting guard Andy Boregales hit an extra point shot to cut Seattle's lead to 19:7.
The following period saw a more energetic play by New England on both ends of the field. After a good play by their defense, the New England offense began its possession with a couple of good moves by May. The good play of the Patriots offense was stopped by Seahawks safety Julian Love, who with eight and a half minutes left in the game managed to intercept a pass by May and with a long run provided his team with good position on the field.
Seattle's next possession lasted three minutes and ended with Myers' fifth field goal, which increased his team's lead to 22:7 and made the most three-pointers in a Super Bowl.
May fumbled the ball again on the Patriots' next possession, after it was dropped by Devon Witherspoon. The ball was picked up in midair by Seahawks linebacker Uchen Nwosu, who carried it into the New England end zone for his team's second touchdown of the game. A field goal by Myers gave Seattle a 29–7 lead with four and a half minutes remaining.
The Patriots scored another touchdown later in the game, after May creatively passed to Ramondre Stevenson for another six points for his team. New England tried to score two points after the touchdown instead of the extra point shot, but failed, so the score with two and a half minutes left in the game was 29:13 in favor of Seattle.
Seattle's next possession also saw a 49-yard touchdown run by Walker, which was then called off due to a foul committed by his teammate.
The Seahawks ended that "drive" with a punt, New England failed to score any more points on the last possession of the game, so Seattle won the 60th Super Bowl with a score of 29:13.
This was the second time these two teams met in the NFL Finals, after the Patriots defeated the Seahawks 28:24 in Super Bowl 49 in 2014.
