Seahawks Spark Illegal Fireworks, Because Rules Only Apply to Patriots
KEY POINTS
- •The Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl LX, fulfilling a decade-old revenge fantasy.
- •Seattle linebacker Uchenna Nwosu recovered a crucial fumble to score a late touchdown, sparking illegal fireworks in the city.
- •New quarterback Sam Darnold led Seattle’s unexpected rise after being released by the Vikings last year.
On a stunning Super Bowl LX Sunday in February 2026, the Seattle Seahawks finally got their not-so-zombie redemption, beating the Patriots 29-13 exactly 11 years after the 'Wilson Interception Disaster' haunted Seattle nights like a bad 'Twilight' reboot. Kenneth Walker III churned out 94 yards on 14 carries in the first half, second-best rushing ever in a Super Bowl first half — basically running like he owed the city rent. After linebacker Uchenna Nwosu scooped a fumble and ran it in for a late touchdown, Seattle fans went full pyrotechnics in defiance of a citywide fireworks ban, setting SODO ablaze while waving 12th Man flags and chanting about bringing Lombardi trophies home. New QB Sam Darnold supplied over 4,000 regular season yards after Vikings ditched him like a bad fantasy pick. Local wisdom from Pamela Burns & Baba Naqasima insisted, 'It’s our 2015 comeback,' proving heartbreak ages like Seattle's rainy justice.
