SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Defense won this championship.

Devon Witherspoon, Derick Hall, Byron Murphy and the rest of Mike Macdonald’s ferocious unit pummeled Drake Maye, and the Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots 29-13 on Sunday to win the franchise’s second Super Bowl.

Sam Darnold threw a touchdown pass to AJ Barner, Kenneth Walker III ran for 135 yards and Jason Myers set a Super Bowl record by making all five of his field-goal tries.

Walker became the first running back to win the Super Bowl MVP award since Terrell Davis 28 years ago.

1. It was a fabulous game

[SoFlaBro]

2. Smashed that MAGA fuckstain Kraft's team into the fucking dirt. Piss on those fucking turds.

3. Now, maybe we can return to the proper timeline...

As people here in Seattle have noted, it was shortly after we blew SB49 that Pumpkin Spice Palpatine took his journey down the golden escalator, and immediately became the Republican front-runner, and it’s been all downhill since then. Maybe this will undo the curse that sent us back to The Worst Possible World in the Multiverse?

4. YESSSSSSSSSS!!!

Let's go with that!!!

Lift the curse, give us a NEW FREAKING TIMELINE, PLEASE!!!!

[calimary]

5. Heck, give us a NEW PRESIDENT!!!

And do it NOW!!!

And I DON’T mean a few years from now!

[Aristus]

7. I hadn't thought of that.

Could this be it? Could this be the sliding doors finally slamming shut?

An end to the nightmare?

Please...

8. The other theory I've seen is that everything's gone to shit since David Bowie died.

Died Jan 10, 2016. Just before the Superb Owl the C Hocks lost...

Regardless, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Seattle! Fireworks for hours all over the city last night.

6. A Thoroughly Enjoyable Beatdown

Can't stand Kraft or McDaniels, thought Maye was overhyped . . . and I'm a lifelong Boston Red Sox fan. Just can't with the Patriots. This was fun.

9. Vrabel should have used Maye's legs at the beginning,

but I'm glad they didn't. The kid will learn from this.
