254 CommentsUpdated 1 hour agoThe Seattle Seahawks produced a devastating defensive display to beat the New England Patriots and claim their second Super Bowl victory.
Two of the NFL's strongest defences battled it out in Sunday's showpiece and the Seahawks emphatically came out on top to win 29-13 at Levi's Stadium in.

The Seahawks are Darnold's fifth team in his eight-year career - and third in three years - but in his first year in Seattle the former third overall draft pick has won the game's biggest prize.
The 28-year-old has been haunted by a comment he made as he struggled in a game against the Patriots in 2019, when he said "I'm seeing ghosts", but Darnold has now exorcised those demons.
Instead, it was Maye who suffered a n
