SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks have won the franchise’s second Super Bowl, and defense was the driving force behind this championship. Devon Witherspoon, Derick Hall, Byron Murphy and the rest of Mike Macdonald’s ferocious unit pummeled Drake Maye in Seattle’s 29-13 win on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Sam Darnold tossed 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. Seattle’s “Dark Side” defense helped Darnold become the first quarterback in the 2018 draft class to win a Super Bowl.
(Pittsburgh, PA) — The fractured relationship between quarterback Aaron Rodgers and coach Mike McCarthy seems to be repaired, and that means the veteran Rodgers could return for a second season in Pittsburgh. Rodgers hasn’t made it official that he will play in 2026 when he is 42 years old. All-Pro receiver DK Metcalf is pushing for the future Hall of Famer to return.
