Seahawks | Seattle rides defense to Super Bowl win Mon Feb 9, 12:05 AM
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. |

Patriots | New England's offense stifled in Super Bowl loss Mon Feb 9, 12:01 AM
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. |

Broncos | Denver sees playoff run end Sun Jan 25, 06:12 PM
Denver Broncos QB Jarrett Stidham went 17-for-31 for 133 yards, one touchdown and one interception against the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game. Stidham also rushed for 23 yards on four carries but did lose a fumble. RB RJ Harvey rushed for 37 yards on 13 carries and also caught four passes for 22 yards on six targets. RB Jaleel McLaughlin rushed for 11 yards on four carries and caught one pass for two yards on two targets. WR Marvin Mims caught four passes for 62 yards on six targets.

LB Alex Singleton recorded four solo tackles and 12 total tackles during the game, while DT D.J. Jones recorded two solo tackles, six total tackles and one and a half sacks.
| Footballguys view: Stidham completed a 52-yard bomb to Marvin Mims on the game's opening drive and finished the drive with a touchdown pass to Courtland Sutton, but had only one good drive for the rest of the game. That drive ended with a failed fourth and one play inside the Patriots 20, and Wil Lutz missed a 54-yard field goal near the end of the first half and a 46-yard attempt to tie the game was blocked by Leonard Taylor III. Denver's offense just needed to be a little bit better, but their defense was championship quality. |
