The Seattle Seahawks destroyed the Denver Broncos 43-8 in the 48th Super Bowl. This was the Seahawks second appearance in the Super Bowl, and they did not disappoint.
The heavy talking, but heavy hitting Seahawks came out swinging against the Broncos, and really the game never looked good for Denver. Denver gave Seattle a safety on the first snap of the game due to a high snap that flew over quarterback Peyton Manning's head. Manning also threw two interceptions. The game was in control of Seattle from the very start, and Denver just wanted it to stop as soon as they could.
When looking at this game you would think that Denver, being the #1 offense in the league, could put up more than eight points. And that Decker and Welker would be a lot bigger part of the outcome, but they weren't and they couldn't. Seattle was the better team. Russell Wilson was able to play with little to no pressure the whole game, and that was very easy on the young quarterback.
With a touchdown off of an interception, and a kick return for a touchdown to open the second half, the Seahawk defense and special team was really rolling. Their defense is their pride and joy, and what they brag about. Richard Sherman, the loud and explosive cornerback, didn't make a lot of huge plays, but he was certainly there to shut down Denver's explosive receivers.
This all around effort by Seattle showed how good they really were this year, and as many thought the best team in the league. Maybe that's why they won the Super Bowl by 35 points. It's party time in Seattle right now, but for Denver it's time to get hungry again and be back there next year.
