Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold has been doubted many times during his NFL career. But all of that has been erased after Darnold helped lead the Seahawks to a Super Bowl title Sunday.<\/p>\n
Darnold spoke about his journey after the 29-13 win, and managed to channel Kevin Garnett in the process.<\/p>\n
Darnold was asked about struggling early in his career and bouncing around the league before finding his football. He responded, \u201cAs long as you believe in yourself, anything\u2019s possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Seahawks have done it. Led by a dominant defense and tremendous special teams, the Seahawks defeated the Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl 60.<\/p>\n
It was a truly dominant performance by the Seahawks\u2019 defense, which racked up six sacks and two interceptions in the win. The entire defense played well enough to win the MVP award and Jason Myers kicked an NFL-record five field goals. Seahawks punter Michael Dickson had two clutch punts to pin the Patriots back late.<\/p>\n
With the win, it marks the first Seahawks win in the Super Bowl since the 2013 NFL season.<\/p>\n

With 2:20 to go, the Patriots are on the board again. Drake Maye managed to find Rhamandre Stevenson with a short pass for a touchdown.<\/p>\n
The ball nearly hit the ground, but Stevenson managed to snag it before it touched. He waltzed in for the score.<\/p>\n
The Patriots failed to convert the 2-point conversion, making it 29-13 Seattle.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s only fitting that the Seattle Seahawks\u2019 defense delivered the dagger Sunday. With the Patriots desperate for points, Seahawks linebacker Uchenna Nwosu snagged an interception and took it all the way to the endzone for a late score.<\/p>\n
That put the Seahawks up 29-7 with four minutes to play.<\/p>\n
Barring a miraculous comeback, that touchdown may have been the final nail in the coffin.<\/p>\n

The Seahawks continue to add to their lead in Super Bowl 60. Jason Myers hit a Super Bowl record fifth field goal, putting the Seahawks up 22-7 with six minutes to go.<\/p>\n
Myers has been nails all night, hitting all five of his attempts.<\/p>\n
Special teams has played a major role in the Seahawks\u2019 lead, as the team\u2019s coverage and punt units have also come up big in the contest.<\/p>\n

The Patriots\u2019 comeback is over just as it was getting started. With the team in comeback mode, Drake Maye threw a bad interception to Seahawks safety Julian Love.<\/p>\n
Love managed a nice return, setting up the Seahawks in excellent field position.<\/p>\n
Seattle leads 19-7 with six minutes to play.<\/p>\n

The Patriots finally showed some life on offense in the fourth quarter \u2026 but it wasn\u2019t long before the Seahawks bounced back. While Seattle didn\u2019t score on the next drive, the team did pin the Patriots deep in their own territory with a punt.<\/p>\n
After a review, the ball was downed at the 4-yard line.<\/p>\n

Drake Maye and the Patriots\u2019 offense are alive \u2026 finally. Maye hit Mack Hollins on a deep touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter to make it 19-7.<\/p>\n
There was some debate over whether the Patriots should have gone for two, but the team opted for the extra point.<\/p>\n

The odds for no touchdown scored in Super Bowl 60 were 125-1 at BetMGM sportsbooks.<\/p>\n
We won\u2019t get that, though, as AJ Barner just scored on a 16-yard touchdown pass from Sam Darnold for the first TD in the game. Barner had 12-1 odds to score the game\u2019s first TD.<\/p>\n

The Seattle Seahawks are running away with Super Bowl 60. With the team already up 12-0, Sam Darnold found AJ Barner with a touchdown at the start of the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
The Seahawks managed to hit the extra point, going up 19-0.<\/p>\n
Given how dominant the Seahawks\u2019 defense has played so far, that feels like an insurmountable lead. The Patriots need to show something now or this game is already over.<\/p>\n

It felt like a matter of time before the Seattle Seahawks\u2019 defense made a big play. That happened as the third quarter wound to a close, as the Seahawks forced and recovered a Drake Maye fumble.<\/p>\n
The play came with just 10 seconds remaining in the quarter. Derick Hall managed to get through the offensive line and swipe the ball away from Maye\u2019s hand as Maye was trying to get away.<\/p>\n
It was Seattle\u2019s fifth sack of the game. It\u2019s been a dominant performance from the Seahawks so far, as the team has yet to allow a single point.<\/p>\n

Can an entire defense with the Super Bowl MVP award? The Seattle Seahawks are certainly making that case.<\/p>\n
Seattle continues to stop the Patriots dead in their tracks when on offense. The Seahawks managed that again in the third quarter, racking up their fourth sack and pressuring Drake Maye enough to get him off rhythm.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been an impressive performance from the entire Seahawks defense, one that the rest of the NFL is no doubt taking notes on right now.<\/p>\n

The New England Patriots are gonna need to get things moving on offense before it\u2019s too late. But that\u2019s not going to happen early in the third quarter.<\/p>\n
The Patriots once again went three-and-out to open the quarter. This one was even more frustrating, as the team had a 3rd and 1 and Drake Maye missed an open receiver. The Patriots aren\u2019t in a place where the team needs to rush it, and did not try for a 4th-down conversion.<\/p>\n
But it won\u2019t be long before the Pats start getting more desperate on offense, especially if Seattle can manage another score.<\/p>\n

If Seattle Seahawks running back Ken Walker can perform like he did in the first half, the Seahawks will walk away from this game as Super Bowl champions.<\/p>\n
Walker showed no signs of slowing down on the team\u2019s first drive of the second half, making multiple tough plays to push the Seahawks down the field.<\/p>\n
Walker\u2019s biggest play came on a screen pass in which he shook off a defender to rumble for 20 yards. Walker also had another carry in which he appeared to be stopped in the backfield before breaking a tackle and making a move to gain positive yardage. It wasn\u2019t a big highlight play, but it was emblematic of the game he\u2019s having so far.<\/p>\n
The Seahawks stalled out after Walker was taken off the field to rest, but still managed a field goal to extend their lead to 12-0.<\/p>\n

The second half is underway. And the first-half numbers were not pretty for the Patriots.<\/p>\n
Seattle\u2019s defense is dominating this game and is less than 30 minutes away from securing its spot among the all-time greats. Sam Darnold\u2019s not doing much. But he doesn\u2019t have to with Kenneth Walker pacing the Seahawks\u2019 offense.<\/p>\n

Bad Bunny closed with a message of unity.<\/p>\n
Flanked by the flags of the U.S. and his native Puerto Rico and others of the Americas, Bad Bunny declared \u201cGod Bless America.\u201d He then listed off the names of nations in South, Central and North America, closing with Mexico, the United States and Canada before shouting out Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n
He then spiked a football with the message: \u201cTogether, we are America.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SANTA CLARA, Calif. \u2014 When the Seattle Seahawks hired Mike Macdonald to be their head coach two years…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":739433,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2050],"tags":[220,184,258,833,7,1329,9295,9228,2860,1167,249,2326,2094,6,208,8083,424,1878,238,505,14162],"class_list":{"0":"post-739571","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-england-patriots","8":"tag-49ers","9":"tag-baltimore","10":"tag-denver-broncos","11":"tag-drake-maye","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-julian-love","14":"tag-kenneth-walker-iii","15":"tag-mack-hollins","16":"tag-mike-macdonald","17":"tag-new-england","18":"tag-new-england-patriots","19":"tag-newengland","20":"tag-newenglandpatriots","21":"tag-nfl","22":"tag-patriots","23":"tag-peyton-manning","24":"tag-rams","25":"tag-sam-darnold","26":"tag-seahawks","27":"tag-super-bowl","28":"tag-uchenna-nwosu"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116039140874873742","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/739571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=739571"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/739571\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/739433"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=739571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=739571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=739571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
