"The New England Patriots lost Super Bowl 60, 29-13, to the Seattle Seahawks, and the 13 points are somewhat misleading about how much of a struggle the game was for New England's offense. The Seahawks' defense dominated the Patriots and almost single-handedly decided the outcome of the game. Following the action, Patriots players were asked about Seattle's challenging defense. Running back Rhamondre Stevenson was specifically asked if the Seahawks defense did anything that New England wasn't expecting."
"The Seahawks' defense did that by recording six sacks and forcing three turnovers - including a game-sealing 45-yard pick six, that was a result of a quarterback hit. While the Patriots' 331 yards and 4.9 yards per play may not seem that bad, most of that production came late in the game, when many people thought the game was already decided."
The Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl 60 largely because of Seattle's defense. The Seahawks recorded six sacks and forced three turnovers, including a game-sealing 45-yard pick-six after a quarterback hit. The Patriots accumulated 331 yards and averaged 4.9 yards per play, but most offensive production came late when the game was effectively decided. Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson said Seattle's defense did nothing unexpected; the Patriots simply failed to execute. The result reflected Seattle's superior defensive performance and New England's inability to respond under pressure.
