The Seattle Seahawks claimed a decisive 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium, cementing their second championship in franchise history. Following their triumphant postseason campaign, linebacker Ernest Jones IV responded firmly to a social media jab from Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua, highlighting ongoing rivalry tensions. The exchange underscored Jones’ central role in the Seahawks’ success and the division rivalry between Seattle and the Rams.
Social Media Taunts Ignite Between Seahawks and Rams Players
The antagonism began during the game when Puka Nacua took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to mock Seattle’s quarterback Sam Darnold by posting his name followed by a laughing emoji. This came while the contest remained tight, particularly on defense. After the Seahawks sealed their win and celebrations erupted, Ernest Jones took to Nacua’s timeline with a sharp retort.

Jones did not hold back, firing back directly on social media as emotions surged following the victory.
Ain’t you at home. Goofy ass,
Ernest Jones IV responded.
This pointed reply emphasized Jones’ stance that while Nacua watched the game from afar, Jones and the Seahawks were busy making history on the field. Jones was a standout figure for Seattle throughout the season, leading the team with 126 tackles and serving as a cornerstone of the “Dark Side” defense that relentlessly pressured New England’s Drake Maye throughout the game.
Seahawks’ Defensive Prowess Dominates the Patriots
The Seahawks’ defense recorded seven sacks and two interceptions, effectively silencing a Patriots offense that entered the postseason with significant momentum. This dominant performance was key to Seattle’s championship run, which notably included avoiding any turnovers across the playoffs.
