Super Bowl LX: Seahawks Dominate Patriots 29-13
The Seattle Seahawks claimed their second Lombardi Trophy in franchise history with a commanding 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. Running back Kenneth Walker III earned Super Bowl MVP honors with a dominant performance—27 carries for 135 yards plus 26 receiving yards—leading a ground attack that controlled the game from start to finish. Kicker Jason Myers set a Super Bowl record with five field goals (33, 39, 41, 41, 26 yards), providing consistent scoring throughout. The Seahawks defense suffocated Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, recording six sacks and forcing three turnovers including two interceptions. Linebacker Uchenna Nwosu sealed the victory with a 45-yard pick-six in the fourth quarter, while safety Julian Love added a crucial late interception. The Patriots offense struggled to find rhythm, held scoreless through three quarters before a 35-yard touchdown connection from Maye to Mack Hollins in the fourth. Head coach Mike Macdonald's defensive scheme proved dominant, validating the Seahawks' championship aspirations from wire to wire. This marks Seattle's first Super Bowl victory since the 2013 season, completing their championship redemption arc.

The performance included celebrity cameos from Pedro Pascal, Jessica Alba, and Alix Earle, with Bad Bunny closing the show with a powerful unity message flanked by flags representing the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Americas. He listed nations across South, Central, and North America before ending with Mexico, the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico. Charlie Puth delivered a stirring National Anthem performance backed by an all-white celestial choir that earned widespread praise as one of the best renditions in recent memory.

Technology
Amazon shares dropped 5.6% Friday after projecting approximately $200 billion in capital expenditures for 2026, far exceeding analyst expectations as the company doubles down on AI infrastructure investments.
