"After joining the NFL as an expansion team in 1976, the Seahawks didn't make it to the big game until Super Bowl XL following the 2005 season. Coached by Mike Holmgren and led by quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, Seattle went 13-3 during the regular season and defeated Washington and Carolina in the playoffs. In the Super Bowl, the Seahawks gave up a 75-yard touchdown run to Pittsburgh Steelers running back Willie Parker to fall behind 14-3 early in the third quarter."
"They went 13-3 and defeated New Orleans and San Francisco in the playoffs before facing the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII. It was no contest. Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch had a touchdown run. Quarterback Russell Wilson had touchdown passes to Jermaine Kearse and Doug Baldwin. Malcolm Smith had a pick-six. Percy Harvin scored on a kickoff return. And coach Pete Carroll led Seattle to a 43-8 victory and its first Super Bowl championship."
The Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 29-13 to claim their second Super Bowl title in four appearances. The franchise joined the NFL in 1976 and reached its first Super Bowl after the 2005 season, going 13-3 under coach Mike Holmgren and quarterback Matt Hasselbeck before losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers 21-10 in Super Bowl XL. Seattle returned after the 2013 season, went 13-3, beat New Orleans and San Francisco, and dominated the Denver Broncos 43-8 in Super Bowl XLVIII with key plays from Marshawn Lynch, Russell Wilson, Malcolm Smith and Percy Harvin. The team narrowly missed repeating as champions in subsequent seasons.
