A standout defensive performance propelled the Seattle Seahawks to a 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 60, marking their second championship win.

The Seattle Seahawks showcased an impressive defensive strategy, defeating the New England Patriots 29-13 to claim their second Super Bowl victory. Key contributions came from defensive coordinator Aden Durde and a formidable Seahawks defense, leading to a large number of turnovers and sacks throughout the game. The victory also underscores the redemption of quarterback Sam Darnold, who became a champion in his first year with the team.

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 defences 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, and Briton Aden Durde played a pivotal role, becoming the first overseas coach to win America's biggest game. Seattle's 46-year-old defensive coordinator has helped create the most feared defence in the NFL, which has become known as 'the Dark Side'.

New England's second-year quarterback Drake Maye was stifled by the Seahawks, who claimed six sacks, forced three turnovers, and scored a defensive touchdown. Seattle led 9-0 at halftime, and Maye's first turnover resulted in the 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 as Seattle denied the Patriots a record seventh Super Bowl win. 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.

The Seahawks quarterback, Sam Darnold, also achieved a personal redemption in the game after being written off in previous seasons. Seattle's formidable defence, highlighted by players like Devon Witherspoon and Byron Murphy, dominated the game, allowing little opportunity for the Patriots' offense to flourish.

New England, experiencing their first Super Bowl since 2019, aimed for historic achievements under head coach Mike Vrabel but ultimately couldn't overcome Seattle's relentless pressure and defensive strategy.

In conclusion, this Super Bowl not only marks a significant victory for the Seahawks but also showcases the importance of strong defence and teamwork in achieving greatness in the NFL.
