San Diego native Jason Myers kicks Super Bowl record five field goals as Seahawks beat Patriots
Seahawks secure second franchise title as defense and kicking shape Super Bowl LX outcome
The Seattle Seahawks won Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026, defeating the New England Patriots 29-13 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The result delivered the franchise’s second championship, following its first title in the 2013 season.
San Diego native Jason Myers played a central role in the scoring profile of the game, converting five field goals to set a Super Bowl record for most made field goals by one player. Myers’ kicks provided Seattle’s only points through nearly three quarters, keeping the Seahawks in front while the offense produced limited touchdowns early.
Record-setting night for Myers highlights a field-position game
Myers’ five field goals accounted for 15 of Seattle’s 29 points, reflecting a game in which possessions often ended in points without reaching the end zone. The pattern underscored Seattle’s ability to consistently move into scoring range even when drives stalled short of the goal line.
The performance added to Myers’ recent season narrative as a high-volume scorer for Seattle, including regular-season games in which the kicking unit carried the full scoring load. In the Super Bowl, his accuracy allowed the Seahawks to steadily build separation and maintain control until the game opened up in the second half.
Defense applies constant pressure on Patriots quarterback Drake Maye
Seattle’s defense shaped the game’s trajectory by repeatedly disrupting New England’s offense. The Seahawks recorded six sacks and produced a defensive touchdown on an interception return after a deflected pass, turning pressure into immediate points.
New England, led by quarterback Drake Maye in his Super Bowl debut and head coach Mike Vrabel in his first season with the Patriots, did not score until the fourth quarter. The late points narrowed the margin temporarily, but Seattle’s defensive control through three quarters limited the Patriots’ ability to build sustained drives.
Kenneth Walker III earns MVP as Seattle’s offense gains balance
Running back Kenneth Walker III was named Super Bowl MVP after rushing for 135 yards and adding 26 receiving yards. The production provided Seattle’s most consistent offensive element beyond the kicking game and helped shift the contest from a low-scoring duel into a decisive win as the Seahawks pulled away.
