Eleven years after a heartbreaking loss to the New England Patriots, the Seattle Seahawks finally found their redemption.

In a game defined by defensive grit and historic kicking, Seattle defeated New England 29-13 at Levi’s Stadium to claim their second Super Bowl title in franchise history.

The game began as a grueling battle of wills. The first half was a defensive clinic, featuring eight punts across 12 possessions. Seattle’s defense was relentless, sacking Patriots quarterback Drake Maye three times and limiting him to a mere 48 passing yards in the opening half.

While the end zone remained elusive early on, Seattle relied on the explosive running of Kenneth Walker III. Walker’s 94 rushing yards in the first half set the stage for kicker Jason Myers, who sent the Seahawks into the locker room with a 9-0 halftime lead.

The intensity on the field was matched by the star power on stage. Bad Bunny headlined a vibrant halftime show, joined by surprise guests Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin. The pre-game festivities were equally impressive, featuring performances by Green Day, Charlie Puth, Brandi Carlile, and Coco Jones.

The Seahawks maintained their momentum in the third quarter. Jason Myers notched his fourth field goal of the night to extend the lead to 12-0. Shortly after, the stadium erupted as AJ Barner hauled in a 16-yard touchdown pass from Sam Darnold, pushing the score to 19-0.

The Patriots refused to go out quietly. Drake Maye connected with Mack Hollins for a 35-yard touchdown strike to finally put New England on the board at 19-7. However, the comeback attempt was short-lived.

Jason Myers put the finishing touches on the victory, kicking a Super Bowl-record fifth field goal. Finishing a perfect 5-for-5 on the night, Myers' final 26-yarder sealed the 29-13 win and etched his name into the record books.
