NFL great Michael Irvin calls San Francisco Bay Area Super Bowl LX 'worst ever,' cites lackluster atmosphere

Robert Griffin III joins Colin Cowherd to discuss the Seattle Seahawks winning Super Bowl LX over the New England Patriots in dominant fashion, and what this win means for Sam Darnold.

The Seattle Seahawks returned to the headlines this week after news surfaced that Paul Allen’s estate — which is overseen by the late owner’s sister, Jody Allen — has initiated the process to sell the franchise.

The eventual transaction aligns with Allen’s final wishes and comes less than two weeks after the Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX to capture the franchise’s second Vince Lombardi Trophy.

After a decade away, the big game returned to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2026. Events throughout the week were split between the heart of San Francisco and Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, about 40 miles away. Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Irvin cited the week's apparent logistical issues and deemed Super Bowl LX as the "worst ever."

"Literally, you could not go anywhere on the streets," he said. "It took forever to get right down the street because traffic was so bad." Irvin also expressed his hope that future Super Bowls are not awarded to the region.

"This was a horrible Super Bowl," the former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver declared. "They should never ever, ever, ever bring the Super Bowl back to San Francisco. … It was ‘blah’ in the city, you know what I mean? It just wasn’t jumping."
