The Seattle Seahawks are Super Bowl LX champions, defeating the New England Patriots 29-13 to cap off a dominating playoff run that ended with them hoisting the Lombardi trophy for the second time in franchise history - and in familiar fashion. It was the Seahawks "Legion of Boom" defense that won Super Bowl XLVIII with a 43-8 rout of the Denver Broncos, and while the 2025 Seahawks defense doesn't have quite as cool of a nickname, they were equally impressive.
In a league increasingly defined by turnovers and efficiency, linebackers who can process quickly, finish tackles, and take the football away carry premium value. That's precisely what the Washington Commanders should be looking for this offseason, especially with Bobby Wagner likely to retire or take his chances elsewhere in free agency. And that might just come at some stage during the 2026 NFL Draft.
He had a tremendous season. He was an absolute turnover machine. The Bears, they didn't do a great job between the 20s. OK? The ball was move a lot. But when it came down to turning the ball over, they were better than every team in the league and he was a huge reason why. Intercepting passes, strip sacks, fumbles, fumble recoveries. What he did on a vet minimum contract or something like that, but
Turnovers told the story before anything else had a chance to. The Nets handed the ball away 25 times Sunday night at Little Caesars Arena. The Detroit Pistons turned those mistakes into 39 points, shot 56.5% from the floor and committed just eight turnovers themselves. By the time it was over, Brooklyn walked off with a 130-77 loss, falling to 13-35 in a game that was over long before the final buzzer.
We did a lot of really good things in that game. I think we gave up six chances at five-on-five. You don't lose those games a lot of the time. We did a lot of good things, but the one area of the game we still need to improve upon is the costly turnovers that end up in goals or cost you in general.
A short-handed Stanford women's basketball team couldn't take advantage of an opportunity to improve its NCAA Tournament resume Thursday, falling 84-66 to No. 7 Louisville at Maples Pavilion. Stanford (15-7, 4-5 ACC) committed 10 turnovers in the second quarter as the Cardinals took an 18-point halftime lead in their first-ever trip to The Farm and maintained a double-digit lead throughout the second half.
We had a couple of bad breaks go off our guys, but at the end of the first period, we turned the puck over, and they scored. At the end of the second period, it is a shot from the point, but we don't have our guys in front of the net, and they score. That is the difference in the game for me.
It was an uneven game for the reigning NFL MVP. Allen threw for 283 yards and 3 touchdowns and he also racked up 66 yards rushing. But he turned the ball over four times, two interceptions and two fumbles, and missed tight end Dawson Knox for a potential game-winning touchdown at the end of regulation. One play that likely stung Allen and Bills fans everywhere: a deep pass to wide receiver Brandin Cooks that was ripped away for an interception by Denver's Ja'Quan McMillian in OT.
There will be some clips that we use, both good and bad. The big thing: I think we had nine turnovers, and seven of them became scoring chances the other way. This is not a team you can do that against - or against any team, really. We didn't manage the puck very well, especially in that second period. It was back a few games, so that is something that we've talked a lot about and worked on.
The atmosphere couldn't have been better for hosting the first playoff game at Gillette Stadium in five years, and the Patriots inevitably fed off the fans' energy all night. It was even more important in the second half, as the score was still close, and costly mistakes kept it that way for too long. But the defense understood what they had to do late in the game,
