Seattle Seahawks win Super Bowl with dominant victory over New England Patriots

The Seattle Seahawks claimed a second Super Bowl title as they beat the New England Patriots 29-13 with a dominant defensive performance.

New England quarterback Drake Maye was sacked six times as the Seahawks defence kept their opponents scoreless until the fourth quarter at Santa Clara, California.

Maye also threw two interceptions and fumbled under pressure, with the two turnovers leading to Seahawks touchdowns.

The Seahawks grabbed an early lead with Jason Myers landing a 33-yard field goal at the end of the first drive.

Maye was sacked three times in New England’s first four possessions, their opening five drives ending with a punt as the Patriots managed just 52 total yards in the first half.

Seattle also found it hard to make consistent progress with the ball as quarterback Sam Darnold was forced to scramble and pass under pressure.

But they stretched their lead early in the second quarter with a second Myers field goal after back-to-back runs from Kenneth Walker, who became the first running back to be named MVP in 28 years, took them deep into Patriots territory.

Christian Gonzalez broke up a Darnold pass to Jaxson Smith-Njigba on the goal line at the end of the half, Myers making it 9-0 from 41 yards.

No team has won a Super Bowl after failing to score in the first half and the Patriots’ woes continued as they were forced to punt again on the first drive of the second half, Darnold and Walker steering the Seahawks downfield for Myers to stretch the lead from 41 yards.

Darnold was sacked after the Patriots were forced to punt again, but Maye was caught twice more as the Seahawks defence turned the screw.
