The Seattle Seahawks captured the 2025 NFL championship with a commanding 29-13 win against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX. This victory not only crowned Seattle as the top team in football but also avenged their previous defeat to the Patriots at Super Bowl XLIX. Despite the decisive outcome, Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold remained modest about the offensive performance during the game.
Darnold Focuses on Growth Despite Dominant Win
From the outset, the Seahawks controlled the match, but Darnold expressed reservations in his post-game remarks.
I know we won the Super Bowl, but we could’ve been a little bit better on offense.
However, as the championship celebrations unfolded with confetti falling, he acknowledged the significance of the moment.
I don’t care about that right now. It’s an unbelievable feeling, man. I’m just so happy for the guys in the locker room, and the coaches, that put in so much effort throughout the whole season.
Key Contributors Fuel Seattle’s Offensive Effort
Seattle’s scoring tally was largely bolstered by kicker Jason Myers, who delivered a flawless performance by making all five field goal attempts along with two extra points. Still, the standout offensive player was running back Kenneth Walker III, who earned the Super Bowl MVP title after rushing for 135 yards. These efforts helped maintain Seattle’s steady control of the game and secure their championship status.
Darnold Reflects on His Journey and Team Unity
Sam Darnold’s path to this achievement was marked by persistence, having played for five different franchises before earning this title. His gratitude extended toward the Seahawks organization for the opportunity following the Minnesota Vikings’ decision to move on from him in favor of J.J. McCarthy. Darnold emphasized the importance of belief and support in his career.
I thank all my teammates, all my coaches, I’ve ever had for always believing in me. I’ve always believed in myself because of my family and my friends, so it’s as simple as that. As long as you believe in yourself, anything is possible.
Financial Rewards Complement Championship Glory
Alongside the prestige of being the Super Bowl champion, Darnold benefits from a $1 million bonus tied to this victory. This financial incentive adds to the significance of the win and underscores how he has reshaped his professional narrative.

For now, the team, led by Darnold and standouts like Kenneth Walker III and Jason Myers, celebrates their hard-earned status as champions.
