The 2025 Seattle Seahawks were a great team. But the first Seahawks team to win a Super Bowl was even better.
The 2013 Seahawks were led by the infamous “Legion of Boom” unit, one of the best single-season defenses in league history. That year, the Seahawks led the NFL in points allowed (231), yards allowed (4,378) and takeaways (39), the first team to lead all three categories since the 1985 Chicago Bears.
Being mentioned in the same breath as those ’85 Bears is high praise indeed.
Facing the AFC’s No. 1 seed in Super XLVIII, the Seahawks put on one of the great defensive performances in Super Bowl history. The Broncos had rewritten the single-season record books offensively that year, but Denver could do nothing against the LOB.
The Seahawks raced out to a 36-0 lead in one of the most lopsided Super Bowls ever.
