Quarterback Russell Wilson completed 18 of 25 passes for 206 yards and two touchdowns (23 yards to Jermaine Kearse and 10 yards to Doug Baldwin) while Marshawn Lynch ran one yard for another score, outside linebacker (and game Most Valuable Player) Malcolm Smith intercepted a Peyton Manning pass and ran it back 69 yards for still another score, and Percy Harvin ran back the opening kickoff of the second half 58 yards for still another TD as the Seattle Seahawks blindsided the Denver Broncos 43-8 on Sunday for the first Super Bowl championship in their 38-year history.
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll became the third man (after Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer) to win both an NCAA national football championship and a Super Bowl crown as a head coach.
Here, we see Seattle defensive backs Richard Sherman (who left the game in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury) and Kam Chancellor (who picked off a pass in the second quarter) tackling Denver's Julius Thomas.
