The Seahawks had lost in Super Bowl 2015, nearly a decade ago, to New England Patriots and on Sunday (Feb 8), they completed their revenge with 29-13 win on Sunday (Feb 8). This is the second time the Seahawks have won the Super Bowl in the franchise history, and first time after beating Denver Broncos 43-8 at MetLife Stadium in Super Bowl 2014. "It's unbelievable. Everything that has happened in my career, but to do it with this team, I wouldn't want it any other way," said Seahawks QB Darnold after the game. The win, however, is off kicker Jason Myers as much as it is of Seahawks defense for his five field goals - the most ever in a Super Bowl.
