Seattle Seahawks are champions of Super Bowl LX 2026 over the Patriots 29 x 13 in the NFL

A relentless defensive performance led Seattle Seahawks to ultimate NFL glory on the night of February 8, 2026. The team overcame New England Patriots with a score of 29 to 13 and won Super Bowl LX, in a game played at Levi’s Stadium, in Santa Clara, Califórnia. The confrontation was marked by the ability of Seattle’s defense to neutralize the opponent’s attack, forcing decisive errors that paved the way to victory.

The game, which pitted the two best campaigns of the regular season head to head, was a testament to the old adage that “defenses win championships.” Desde the beginning, the pressure on the Patriots quarterback, Drake Maye, was constant, preventing the New England team from establishing its rhythm. With the attack doing enough to capitalize on the opportunities created, the Seahawks controlled the match and secured the Vince Lombardi trophy.

Seattle’s wall completely nullifies New England’s attack

The Seattle Seahawks defensive unit was the dominant force of the Super Bowl LX, delivering one of the most suffocating performances in recent final history. Quarterback Drake Maye was the main target, suffering six sacks throughout the night. The Patriots offensive line found no answers to the incessant pressure coming from multiple players, especially the duo Byron Murphy II and DeMarcus Lawrence, who consistently won their individual battles and collapsed the pocket.

Linebacker Ernest Jones IV was omnipresent, leading the team with nine tackles and demonstrating exceptional reading of the game to contain rush attempts and short passes. The definitive turning point came in the fourth quarter, when safety Julian Love intercepted a pass from Maye, frustrating a reaction attempt by Patriots. The coup de grace was applied by Uchenna Nwosu, who recovered a fumble forced by Devon Witherspoon and ran into the end zone, scoring a defensive touchdown that sealed the result.

Jason Myers has a perfect night and secures valuable points

While the defense shined, Seattle’s special teams ensured that superiority on the field translated into points on the scoreboard. Kicker Jason Myers was one of the big names in the victory, with an impeccable performance by converting all five of his field goal attempts. Responsável for 17 of the team’s 29 points, their accuracy was crucial in building the lead from the first quarter.

Confidence in Myers allowed Seattle’s offense to play in a more conservative and controlled manner, knowing that crossing the 40-yard line of the offensive field already represented a real scoring opportunity. Seus shots, some from long distance, undermined the morale of New England’s team and kept Seahawks always ahead. Punter Michael Dickson also contributed significantly, corralling the Patriots attack in unfavorable field positions with accurate punts.

Efficient Seattle attack controls the clock

Led soberly by quarterback Sam Darnold, the Seattle Seahawks attack executed an intelligent and error-free game plan. Darnold avoided turnovers, completing 19 of 38 passes for 202 yards and a crucial touchdown. Ele managed the clock masterfully, especially in the second half, keeping his defense rested and limiting opportunities for the opponent’s attack.

The pillar of the offensive was the land game, led by Kenneth Walker III. The running back had a spectacular performance, rushing 26 times for 134 yards, wearing down the Patriots defense with physical and consistent runs. The only offensive touchdown score came on an accurate pass from Darnold to tight end AJ Barner, exploiting a gap in coverage and capping a well-executed offensive campaign.

Patriots succumb to pressure and turnovers

New England Patriots fought until the end, but could not overcome the overwhelming pressure imposed by Seattle’s defense. Drake Maye had a night to forget, finishing the game with 22 completed passes for 240 yards and two touchdowns, but the numbers were overshadowed by two interceptions and a lost fumble that resulted in a touchdown for the opponent. Turnovers at critical moments were fatal to the team’s intentions.

The team only managed to break through the defensive blockade and score 13 points in the last quarter, when the match was practically decided. A 35-yard pass to Mack Hollins demonstrated the attack’s potential, but the reaction was late. The Patriots defense, despite the efforts of Craig Woodson, who totaled 10 tackles, spent too much time on the field and was unable to contain Seattle’s balanced attack.

Building victory from start to finish

The dominance of Seattle Seahawks was established from the first minutes. The team opened the scoring with an Jason Myers field goal in the first quarter and never looked back. In the second period, two more field goals extended the lead to 9-0, while the defense kept the Patriots attack completely blank on the scoreboard, a rarity in games of this caliber.

In the third quarter, the script was repeated, with the defense controlling the game and Myers adding three more points, bringing the score to 12-0.
