In a thrilling showdown at Levi's Stadium, the Seattle Seahawks triumphed over the New England Patriots 29-13, clinching their second Super Bowl victory. The game showcased an extraordinary defensive performance, including six sacks and three turnovers.

The Seattle Seahawks showcased their formidable defense in a decisive 29-13 victory against the New England Patriots at Super Bowl 60, marking their second championship win. With standout plays from linebacker Uchenna Nwosu and a record performance from Jason Meyers, the Seahawks' 'Dark Side' defense proved too much for the Patriots, who struggled to maintain offensive momentum throughout the match.

The Seattle Seahawks produced a devastating defensive display to beat the New England Patriots and claim their second Super Bowl victory.

Two of the NFL's strongest defenses battled it out in Sunday's showpiece, and the Seahawks emphatically came out on top to win 29-13 at Levi's Stadium.

It was a defensive performance for the ages, and Briton Aden Durde played a pivotal role, becoming the first overseas coach to win America's biggest game.

Seattle's 46-year-old defensive coordinator has helped create the most-feared defense in the NFL, which has become known as 'the Dark Side', and they showed why on American football's biggest stage in Santa Clara, California.

New England's second-year quarterback Drake Maye narrowly missed out on this season's Most Valuable Player award but was stifled by the Seahawks, who claimed six sacks, forced three turnovers, and scored a defensive touchdown.

After Seattle led 9-0 at half-time, Maye's first turnover resulted in the game's opening touchdown for tight end AJ Barner early in the fourth quarter.

Linebacker Uchenna Nwosu then returned an interception for a 45-yard touchdown, while Jason Meyers kicked a record five field goals as Seattle denied the Patriots a record seventh Super Bowl win.

We were the better team, we're the best team. We loved each other, we believed in each other and now we're champions, said Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald.

Most of the 70,823 crowd seemed to favor Seattle, who came into the game as narrow favorites. Their win also means that quarterback Sam Darnold has completed his redemption story after being written off as a starting NFL quarterback.

In a historical backdrop, New England, under head coach Mike Vrabel, aimed to exploit their rich Super Bowl history, but faced a Seattle defense that stifled their game plan, leading to an emphatic victory for the Seahawks.
