Seahawks beat Patriots to win Super Bowl LX

Super Bowl LX featured a matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots at Levi's Stadium. This rematch recalls their 2015 encounter, where New England's Malcolm Butler intercepted a goal-line pass to secure a 28-24 victory. Often referred to as the "revenge match," it highlights the ongoing frustration of Seahawks fans with current analyses that focus on Seattle's top-ranked defense, which is set to challenge Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye for an upset opportunity.

The first half saw the Seahawks delivering their slow-and-steady pace to keep the Patriots scoreless. However, in the second half, after the crowd was treated to Bad Bunny's halftime show, the Patriots were edging toward a comeback. However, the Patriots' comeback attempt wasn't enough.

Seahawks beat Patriots to win Super Bowl LX

With a final score of 29-13, the Seahawks exacted their revenge against the Patriots. This Super Bowl LX victory marked the Seattle Seahawks’ second championship title since 2014. Kenneth Walker III was named MVP with 29 touches, 135 rush yards, and 26 receiving yards.

Congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks for becoming Super Bowl LX champions!
