Seattle’s Defense and Walker Finish the Job in Super Bowl LX

SANTA CLARA — Seattle completed its championship season with a 29–13 win over New England in Super Bowl LX on February 8, pairing a dominant defensive performance with Kenneth Walker III's productive night on the ground.

Walker carried 27 times for 135 yards and added two catches for 26 yards. He was named Super Bowl MVP, giving the Seahawks a central offensive contributor who could keep moving the ball while the defense restricted the Patriots.

Seattle recorded six sacks. Byron Murphy II and Derick Hall had two apiece, while Rylie Mills and Devon Witherspoon also brought down Drake Maye. The pressure did more than reduce passing yardage: it disrupted New England's ability to turn possessions into a consistent challenge.

Jason Myers made five field goals. Those kicks gave Seattle points even when offensive possessions stopped short of touchdowns, an important part of a result that did not require the Seahawks to win a high-scoring exchange.

The title was the second in franchise history. This team earned it through its own combination of defensive pressure, rushing production and special-teams execution. Comparisons with previous Seattle champions can describe the standard, but the actual work in this game belonged to the players on the field at Levi's Stadium.

For New England, a conference championship season ended with too little offensive response to Seattle's pressure. The Patriots could not turn the game into the kind of close finish that would have made every late possession equally dangerous.

Walker's MVP award reflected the value of steady offensive progress in that setting. The Seahawks did not need him to account for every point. They needed him to provide reliable movement while the defense and kicking game supplied their own contributions. All three parts held together, and Seattle finished the night with the championship.
