Seahawks happy enough with Super Bowl LX win but wanted more dominance

The Seattle Seahawks are officially Super Bowl champions again after defeating the New England Patriots 29-13. There have been many doubts from people outside of Seattle, but it was never a doubt from those inside the organization.

That’s why the Seahawks are happy to get this Super Bowl title, but they know they could’ve done more to get the dominating victory.  

The Seahawks relied on the Dark Side Defense to get the job done, and quarterback Sam Darnold wanted the 12 and spectators to make sure of that. This was a masterful performance from the Seahawks’ defense as they allowed 331 total yards, accounted for three turnovers, made one defensive touchdown, and tormented second-year Patriots quarterback Drake Maye.

Offensively, the players knew they could have made a much more convincing performance. Right after the game, quarterback Sam Darnold said he was proud of his offense's performance. He did, however, also say that there was more to be desired offensively.  

The Seahawks accumulated 335 total yards on offense and were 4-of-16 in third-down conversions. There were times that Darnold could have made better throws esecially deep down the field. Two plays stand out deep where Darnold could’ve connected to wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Rashid Shaheed.

Darnold did finish the game, completing 19-of-38 of his passes for 202 yards, one touchdown on a perfect connection to tight end A.J. Barner, and a quarterback rating of 74.7. The biggest part was that not only did he play well enough, but he didn’t make mistakes that put the team in bad situations.
