In Super Bowl LX, Seattle's relentless defense overwhelmed Patriots QB Drake Maye (295 yards, 2 INTs, 6 sacks) as the Seahawks prevailed 29-13 behind Kenneth Walker’s 114 rushing yards and SB MVP honors. New England’s o-line, featuring two rookies on the left, struggled to contain Seattle’s front, leaving Maye under pressure on roughly half of his drop-backs. Bright spots included CB Christian Gonzalez, who limited Seattle’s top targets with three PBUs, and rookie S Craig Woodson, who emerged as a promising building block in the secondary. Coach Mike Vrabel lauded the season’s 10-win turnaround and emphasized using the loss as motivation to continue building a foundation for next year.

The Seattle Seahawks may face the Arizona Cardinals without key players as running back Kenneth Walker and punter Michael Dickson are both listed as questionable due to injuries. Walker, who has been a significant contributor with 542 rushing yards and seven touchdowns this season, was limited in practice and did not participate on Thursday. Dickson, dealing with a back issue, was also limited in practice, prompting the Seahawks to sign punter Ty Zentner as a backup. Offensive tackle Stone Forsythe has been ruled out for the game.
The Seattle Seahawks have downgraded running back Kenneth Walker and wide receiver DK Metcalf due to injuries, with Walker dealing with ankle and calf issues and Metcalf with a shoulder injury.
