It took more than a decade, but the Seattle Seahawks and their fans finally got their revenge Sunday for the famous Malcolm Butler play, defeating the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, California, to earn their second title in franchise history. In the process, they denied the Patriots what would have been a league-leading seventh Super Bowl win. 

In a Super Bowl rematch that was a defensive struggle from the outset, Seahawks kicker Jason Myers converted five field goals, a Super Bowl record, and quarterback Sam Darnold threw for 202 yards and one touchdown. Running back Kenneth Walker III rumbled for 135 yards on the ground, earning himself Super Bowl MVP honors, the first running back to do so since the Denver Broncos’ Terrell Davis in 1998. 

“We went through a lot of adversity this season, but we came together and we stuck together,” Walker said after the game. 

Soccer fans eagerly await the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with MetLife Stadium in New Jersey prepared to host several key matches. The stadium, which seats over 82,000, will be the venue for five Group Stage matches, specifically matches 7, 17, 41, 56, and 67. However, none of these matches will feature the United States team.

In addition to the Group Stage matches, MetLife Stadium will host a Round of 32 match, a Round of 16 match, and the much-anticipated final match. The World Cup will take place from June 11 to July 19, 2026.

Fans can apply for FIFA’s 2026 World Cup ticket drawings starting December 11. The application period will continue until January 13, giving fans a chance to secure their spot at one of the world’s most prestigious sporting events.

Super Bowl 60 will be a rematch of Super Bowl XLIX; the Patriots will take on the Seahawks.

The two teams met in Super Bowl XLIX, when New England narrowly escaped, 28-24, thanks to Malcolm Butler’s game-sealing interception on the goal line. Seattle’s decision to not run the ball in for a potential touchdown with Marshawn Lynch went down in NFL history.

Now, the Seahawks will have a chance for some long-awaited get-back against New England.
