Story highlights

Super Bowl LX: The Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots 29-13 on Sunday (Feb 8) for their second Vince Lombardi Trophy in franchise history.

Seattle Seahawks came out triumphant in the Super Bowl LX on Sunday (Feb 8), beating the New England Patriots 29-13 at the Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. 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. In a game where no touchdown was scored for the first three quarters, three were scored in 4Q plus a pick-six. It was, however, too little and too late for the Patriots to cut down the deficit and come out in front.

Super Bowl 2015 revenge taken by Seahawks

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. Seahawks QB Sam Darnold completed 19 of 38 passes for 202 yards and one touchdown. More importantly, he did not throw an interception in a game highlighted by defensive abilities of both teams.

"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 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.

Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, however, had a bad day in office - completing 27 of 43 passes for 295 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions - one them was pick-six in the final quarter, effectively shutting the door on his team.

The incident happened between the Seahawks cornerback Josh Jobe and Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs but the refs failed to throw the flag and take any action on the play. The Patriots player was already out of bounds when Jobe came in blindsided him. Diggs confronted Jobe quickly after it and the two players got into it really fast, escalating the things. With refs trying to separate two players, Josh Jobe landed a left-hand punch on Diggs.
