Under the guidance of defensive coordinator Aden Durde, the Seahawks held the Patriots to just 13 points, while also stifling quarterback Drake Maye's efforts.

The Seattle Seahawks produced a devastating defensive display to beat the New England Patriots and claim their second Super Bowl victory.

Two of the NFL's strongest defenses battled it out in Sunday's showpiece and the Seahawks emphatically came out on top to win 29-13 at Levi's Stadium.

It was a defensive performance for the ages and Briton Aden Durde played a pivotal role, becoming the first overseas coach to win the United States' biggest game.

Seattle's 46-year-old defensive coordinator has helped create the most feared defense in the NFL, which has become known as 'the Dark Side', and they showed why on American football's biggest stage in Santa Clara, California.

New England's second-year quarterback Drake Maye narrowly missed out on this season's Most Valuable Player (MVP) award but was stifled by the Seahawks, who claimed six sacks, forced three turnovers, and scored a defensive touchdown.

After Seattle led 9-0 at halftime, Maye's first turnover resulted in the game's opening touchdown for tight end AJ Barner early in the fourth quarter.

Linebacker Uchenna Nwosu then returned an interception for a 45-yard touchdown, while Jason Meyers kicked a record five field goals as Seattle denied the Patriots a record seventh Super Bowl win.

We were the better team; we're the best team. We loved each other, we believed in each other and now we're champions, Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald told NBC.

New England were playing in their first Super Bowl since 2019 after the departure of legendary quarterback Tom Brady and head coach Bill Belichick. Coach Mike Vrabel was aiming to create history by winning a Super Bowl as a player and head coach with the same franchise, while Maye sought to become the youngest quarterback to win the big game.

Ultimately, the formidable Seahawks defense proved too much for the Patriots, allowing Seattle to lift the Lombardi Trophy once again. The passionate Seattle crowd celebrated this momentous victory, marking a memorable chapter in the franchise's history.
