Super Bowl LX MVP: Kenneth Walker III is the first RB to win the award since 1997
Our Summary
The Seattle Seahawks secured a 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX, driven by a strong defensive performance that included six sacks and three takeaways, one of which was a 45-yard interception returned for a touchdown by linebacker Uchenna Nwosu. Byron Murphy and Derick Hall each recorded two sacks, with Hall also forcing a fumble. Despite the defense's standout performance, the Super Bowl MVP award went to running back Kenneth Walker III. Walker rushed 27 times for 135 yards and caught two passes for 26 yards, becoming the first running back to win the MVP since Terrell Davis in 1997. Walker capitalized on Zach Charbonnet's injury earlier in the postseason to excel in the playoffs, amassing 313 rushing yards and four touchdowns. Walker is slated to become a free agent in the offseason. Seahawks kicker Jason Myers, who set an NFL record with five field goals in the game, was also a notable MVP candidate.
