Defense won this championship. Devon Witherspoon, Derick Hall, Byron Murphy and the rest of Mike Macdonald’s ferocious unit pummeled Drake Maye, and the Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots 29-13 on Sunday to win the franchise’s second Super Bowl.

The Seahawks kept the Patriots out of sorts throughout Super Bowl 60 on Sunday to score the second title in franchise history.

The Seattle Seahawks have won the franchise’s second Super Bowl title. Sam Darnold and the offense finally found the end zone on a 16-yard pass to AJ Barner early in the fourth quarter, while Jason Myers set a Super Bowl record with five field goals.

The Patriots' offense opened the second quarter with the football, and just like the first quarter, didn't do much with it. New England's latest drive was a three-and out, and the Patriots now have three punts on three possessions.

And in Seattle, the defense has continued to pave the way, but it's led by second-year head coach Mike Macdonald, who could become the first Super Bowl-winning head coach to also call defensive plays in NFL history.

The Seahawks began their third drive at their own 13 after Rashid Shaheed returned Bryce Baringer's punt 7 yards. They began their second drive on their own 10 after opening the game with a touchback to the 35.

The Seattle Seahawks denied the New England Patriots a record seventh Super Bowl title with a 29-13 triumph in the NFL's championship game on Sunday.
