Seattle is celebrating its second Super Bowl victory after the Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 29-13 at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday, February 9, 2026. The win marks a significant turnaround for the franchise and delivers a championship led by quarterback Sam Darnold.
The Seahawks’ dominant defensive performance was central to their success, registering six quarterback sacks, two interceptions, and a forced fumble against the Patriots. Kenneth Walker III proved instrumental on offense, rushing for 135 yards on 27 carries, according to reports from clarosports.com. The defensive pressure consistently disrupted Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, who finished with 295 passing yards, two touchdowns, but also two interceptions and a lost fumble.
The first half saw a defensive battle, with Seattle taking a lead into the break. Sam Darnold efficiently distributed the ball, and Walker established a strong running game, gaining 94 yards in the first two quarters. New England’s offense struggled under constant pressure from the Seattle defense, limiting their passing and running options. Seattle capitalized with three field goals from Jason Myers, including a 41-yard attempt.
The Seahawks’ defense continued to stifle the Patriots in the second half, forcing three turnovers overall. Walker’s consistent rushing attack wore down the New England defense, opening up opportunities for the Seattle offense. The final score reflected Seattle’s control of the game, with a decisive 29-13 victory.
This Super Bowl win is the second in Seahawks history. Coach Mike Macdonald was presented with the Vince Lombardi trophy and then handed it to Sam Darnold. The victory avenges past defeats against the Patriots, according to clarosports.com.
The win was widely celebrated on social media, with catedraldeportiva_ on Instagram posting about the “DOMINIO HISTÓRICO” (Historic Dominion) and the start of celebrations in Seattle on February 8, 2026. The team secured a $13 million prize for the win, according to reports.
Despite a challenging night for New England’s Drake Maye, who became the quarterback with the most sacks in playoff history, the Patriots were unable to establish a consistent offensive rhythm. JSN, a Patriots receiver, reportedly played with a physical issue, further hindering their offensive capabilities. The Seahawks’ victory solidifies their position as champions of the National Football League.
