Seattle Seahawks 29–13 New England Patriots
As it happened: David Lengel’s minute-by-minute report
Revenge is a dish best served cold. Although seeing as the Seattle Seahawks had to wait 11 years to exact theirs on the New England Patriots, their fans would have been forgiven for moving on to other matters.
Not that you’d know it from the way the Seahawks played in Sunday’s Super Bowl as they smothered the Patriots in a rematch of the 2015 championship, when New England pulled off an extraordinary victory that has haunted Seattle for years.
Kenneth Walker III, the engine of Seattle’s offense with 135 rushing yards on 27 carries, was named MVP. Sam Darnold completed his long redemption arc from draft-bust to champion by throwing for 202 yards and a touchdown.
