SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) Defense won this championship.
Devon Witherspoon, Derick Hall, Byron Murphy and the rest of Mike Macdonalds ferocious unit pummeled Drake Maye, and the Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots 29-13 on Sunday to win the franchises second Super Bowl.
Sam Darnold threw a touchdown pass to AJ Barner, Kenneth Walker III ran for 135 yards and Jason Myers set a Super Bowl record by making all five of his field-goal tries.
Walker became the first running back to win the Super Bowl MVP award since Terrell Davis 28 years ago.

(27,550 posts)As people here in Seattle have noted, it was shortly after we blew SB49 that Pumpkin Spice Palpatine took his journey down the golden escalator, and immediately became the Republican front-runner, and its been all downhill since then. Maybe this will undo the curse that sent us back to The Worst Possible World in the Multiverse?
