The Seattle Seahawks dominated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX, with the final score settling in at 29-13. While running back Kenneth Walker III won MVP honors for his big performance, the play of Seattle’s defense against New England’s offense was the big story of this game. And throughout the night, it was clear that having banged up safety Nick Emmanwori on the field was huge for the Seahawks.
Emmanwori suffered an ankle injury at practice on Wednesday, but he suited up for the big game and looked like his normal self, and helped his team cruise to victory. After the game, Emmanwori made sure to troll the Patriots by issuing a bold claim that will surely only enrage their upset fanbase even more.
Nick Emmanwori Throws Shade at Patriots After Super Bowl Win
The big question entering the Super Bowl revolved around how the Patriots’ struggling offense would fare against the Seahawks’ airtight defense. Emmanwori’s injury scare seemingly opened the door for New England to have an area to exploit, but that simply did not end up being the case, as he was all over the field, racking up five tackles on the night.
With Emmanwori on the field making his usual impact, that allowed Seattle to play its typical brand of defense. The Seahawks once again virtually never played out of their base defense, instead employing Emmanwori in his typical Swiss Army knife role, which allowed him to wreak havoc at every level of the field.
Simply put, it seemed like if Seattle didn’t make any mistakes, it would win this game, and sure enough, that’s what happened. After the clock hit zero, Emmanwori took a shot at the Patriots, confidently declaring that he knew the Seahawks were going to win on Sunday morning when he and the rest of his teammates were showing that they weren’t going to let the moment get to them.
“I knew (we were going to win) when we were getting breakfast and everyone was smiling and laughing and acting like the moment wasn’t too big,” Emmanwori said. “We were doing the same things we’ve been doing all season.”

Seattle had a blueprint for how it could win this game, and it followed that plan to a T. Offensively, the Seahawks leaned on their budding ground game, while Sam Darnold simply worked on protecting the football. And on defense, the team was able to create pressure on Drake Maye with only four-man rushes, allowing its secondary to mix and match its coverages, which kept him guessing even when he had time to throw the ball.
The result was a resounding victory that saw Seattle win its second Super Bowl in franchise history. And while the team is going to make sure to soak in the celebration from this win, it’s clear that they will remain one of the top championship contenders for the foreseeable future. With guys like Emmanwori leading the way, the Seahawks figure to have a real shot at repeating as champions when they return to action in 2026.
