Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald met with the media in San Jose ahead of Super Bowl 60, reflecting on the team’s unexpected run to the NFL’s biggest stage and the culture that has powered it.
Macdonald discussed Seattle’s growth into a championship-caliber team, saying the Seahawks never focused on outside expectations as they worked to become something “real” over the course of the season. He also praised quarterback Sam Darnold’s resilience through adversity and credited veteran receiver Cooper Kupp for elevating the entire offense and locker room.
Macdonald added that Seattle’s defensive identity and commitment to its process have been central to the Seahawks’ success, even with the increased attention that comes with Super Bowl week.
The Seahawks will face their final test of the season on Sunday as they look to cap their underdog run with a Super Bowl title.
