The Seattle Seahawks defeated the Denver Broncos 43-8 to win the 2014 Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 2. The Seahawks’ defense dominated the Broncos from the first play (a safety, courtesy of a botched Denver snap) to the very end of the game. Seattle’s defense, the best in the league, also caused four turnovers against five-time MVP Peyton Manning and the Broncos. The Seahawks ended the season with a 16-3 record, and this is their first Super Bowl victory in franchise history.

Only a certain group of people know what that zone feels like.”
