Seattle, February 9. The Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots 29 to 13 in Super Bowl LX on Sunday. This win could be the Seattle Seahawks game with the Allen family owning the team. It is a deal for the Seattle Seahawks because they had a really good run. The Seattle Seahawks have had one of the times, in their history.
The Seattle Seahawks won their Super Bowl title. This was the Seattle Seahawks time playing in the Super Bowl in the last twenty years. The Seattle Seahawks beat the Patriots to get this win. The Patriots were the team that stopped the Seattle Seahawks from winning the championship ten years ago. A lot of Seattle Seahawks fans, who call themselves the “12s” were, at the game to watch the Seattle Seahawks play. They filled up the stadium to cheer on the Seattle Seahawks.
The team had a day. People were talking about the possibility of the team being sold. This team is worth a lot of money than $6.5 billion.. People did not think about that today. The Seattle team played well on the biggest stage, in the league. They really showed what they can do. The Seattle team was amazing.
Defense Controls the Game
The Seattle defense was really good. They did not let New England score for a time more than three quarters of the game. Jason Myers kicked four field goals. This gave the Seahawks a 12 to 0 lead. Then AJ Barner scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter. This made the score 19 to 0 in favor of the Seahawks. The Seattle defense and Jason Myers and AJ Barner all did a job, for the Seahawks.
The New England team had a tough time finding their rhythm during the whole game. Seattle was always on them putting on a lot of pressure and not giving New England chances to score. This made it hard for New England to get anything going on offense. The Seattle team just kept coming at them which limited the opportunities, for New England to make plays and score points.
Key Defensive Performances
The Seahawks had a good game. Four different Seahawks players were able to get sacks. This is a deal because it shows that many Seahawks players are very good, at getting to the other teams quarterback. The Seahawks players who got sacks did a job.
Byron Murphy II got a sack. He also recovered a fumble. This was a play by Byron Murphy II. Byron Murphy II really made an impact with that sack and the fumble recovery, by Byron Murphy II.
Derick Hall got two sacks on the Patriots quarterback Drake Maye. He really did a job on Drake Maye. Derick Hall was able to sack Drake Maye two times. This is a deal, for Derick Hall and his team because they were playing against the Patriots and their quarterback Drake Maye.
The team chose Hall by using a pick they got when they traded away quarterback Russell Wilson in 2022. They made this trade. It helped them get Hall. Hall was the one they picked after they made the deal, for Russell Wilson.
The defense was really good. That set the tone, for Seattles win. It did not let them come back all. Seattles defensive effort stopped any comeback by the other team. This helped Seattle win the game.
Allen Family’s Longstanding Influence
Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen bought the Seahawks in 1997 for two hundred million dollars. This was a deal because it stopped the team from moving to a different city. When Paul Allen owned the Seahawks, the team in Seattle hired some coaches. These coaches were Mike Holmgren and Pete Carroll. They had even won the Super Bowl. The Seahawks became one of the stable teams in the National Football League, under Paul Allens ownership.
After Allen died in 2018 his will said that the team should be sold on to help charitable causes. Allens sister, Jody Allen has been, in charge of the team since then. She hired the head coach, Mike Macdonald in 2024 to coach the team. The team is still going to be sold to support causes just like Allen wanted.
Earlier in the postseason Jody Allen put up the Seattle Seahawks teams number twelve flag to remember her brother, before the NFC Championship Game. The number twelve flag is for the Seattle Seahawks team and Jody Allen did this for her brother.
Potential Sale on the Horizon
The Allen estate is finishing up the sale of the Portland Trail Blazers basketball team for 4.25 billion dollars.
The Portland Trail Blazers sale is what they are focusing on now.
After the Portland Trail Blazers sale is done people think that the talks, about the Seahawks will get more serious.
The value of NFL teams has gone up a lot in the few years. Nobody has bought a part of a team since the Washington Commanders were sold in 2023 for $6.05 billion. The NFL franchise valuations are really high now.
An Era Nearing Its End
A championship does not mean that people will pay money for a team.. The people in charge of the league have seen that when a team wins a championship it often happens at the same time that teams in other sports are being sold for a lot of money. The league executives have noticed this. They think it is interesting that winning a championship and record franchise sales seem to happen together in other professional sports, like football and basketball.
