Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold completed 19 of his 38 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown and added five rushing yards in a 29-13 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX. RB Kenneth Walker III gained 135 yards on 27 carries and caught two passes for 26 yards, and RB George Holani chipped in six rushing yards on two carries and caught a seven-yard pass. WR Cooper Kupp finished with a team-high six receptions on 12 targets for 61 receiving yards, and WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba hauled in four of his 10 targets for 27 yards. TE AJ Barner caught four passes for 54 yards and a touchdown, and WR Rashid Shaheed gained 27 yards on a pair of receptions. LB Ernest Jones led the defense with 11 tackles, including 10 solo stops, and LB Uchenna Nwosu returned an interception for a touchdown. S Julian Love also had an interception, and DT Byron Murphy II and DE Derick Hall both had two of Seattle's six sacks, and Murphy also recovered a fumble.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN's Dan Graziano wrote, "Led by defense and special teams, armed with a quarterback nobody believed in and run by a 38-year-old, second-year coach whose personality remains opaque to almost everyone outside of his building, the Seattle Seahawks kept their heads down and kept winning." And that coach, Mike Macdonald, is now the third-youngest head coach ever to win the Super Bowl -- and he did it in just his second season with the Seahawks. With Darnold heading into his second season in Seattle and MacDonald at the helm, the Seahawks' future is bright. |

New England Patriots QB Drake Maye completed 27 of his 43 passes for 295 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in a 29-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX. Maye was also sacked six times and lost a fumble while gaining 35 rushing yards on five carries. RB Rhamondre Stevenson managed 23 rushing yards on seven carries and caught five passes for 40 yards and a touchdown. RB TreVeyon Henderson was held to 19 yards on six carries and caught three passes for 26 yards. WR Mack Hollins was a bright spot for the offense, catching four passes for a team-high 78 yards and a touchdown. WR DeMario Douglas added five catches for 45 yards, and WR Stefon Diggs finished with three catches for 37 yards. TE Hunter Henry caught three passes for 31 yards, and WR Kayshon Boutte caught one pass for 31 yards. S Craig Woodson finished with a team-high 10 tackles, including seven solo stops, and CB Marcus Jones joined him with seven solo stops. DT Milton Williams recorded three tackles, including two tackles for loss, and a sack.
| Footballguys view: While the defense kept the Patriots within reach most of the game, Maye struggled under pressure, and the offense sputtered when it mattered most. New England punted on all five of its non-kneel first-half possessions, generating just four total first downs. With the game still within reach, the offense fell flat, going three-and-out on its first three possessions of the third quarter -- its one first down on four drives in the quarter came via penalty. Maye made a few plays in the final frame, but it was too little, too late from the MVP runner-up. |
