Five early takeaways from a Super Bowl shaped by Seattle’s pass rush, New England’s lack of offensive answers and a few standout individual efforts.

The Seattle Seahawks delivered a dominant defensive performance in Super Bowl 60, overwhelming New England quarterback Drake Maye with a Super Bowl-record seven sacks at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. Seattle’s defense also forced two interceptions and a fumble, while kicker Jason Myers accounted for 15 points with a Super Bowl-record five field goals. The Seahawks pulled away for a 29-13 victory, controlling the game with constant pressure and steady scoring.
