Patriots suffer biggest beatdown of season in lopsided Super Bowl LX loss to Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl LX, held in Santa Clara, California. Seattle's defense delivered a dominant performance, sacking Patriots quarterback Drake Maye five times and forcing a crucial fumble that led to a touchdown early in the fourth quarter. Maye, who entered the game with a shoulder injury, struggled against Seattle's blitz-heavy defense, completing 27 of 43 passes for 295 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. The Patriots' offensive line, which had been a concern throughout the season, was exposed by Seattle's aggressive tactics.

The Seahawks' victory capped a strong season characterized by a 10-game winning streak and the league's best scoring defense. In contrast, the Patriots' season ended with a focus on addressing offensive weaknesses, particularly the offensive line and lack of elite offensive weapons. Despite the loss, New England's season was marked by significant improvement, winning 13 more games than the previous year under head coach Mike Vrabel
