The Seahawks spend more on their special teams than any other team in the NFL at $9.325M in salary.
Their kicker just scored over half the points and their punter downed a punt inside the five-yard-line as Seattle won the Super Bowl.
Mike MacDonald inherited a Seattle defense that had just finished 29th in pts/drive.
In his first year, they ranked 5th. In his second year, they ranked 1st and are one of the best defenses ever, spurring a Super Bowl run.
He's a Top 3 hire of the last decade. True genius.
Prior to Sunday, no team had ever made 5+ field goals in a Super Bowl.
No team had ever punted 7+ times in a Super Bowl with every punt netting at least 40 yards.
No team had ever had 6+ sacks and a 40+ yard defensive TD in a Super Bowl.
The @Seahawks did all 3 on Sunday.
After his five field goals and two extra points in the Super Bowl, Jason Myers finished the 2025-26 regular season and postseason with a total of 206 points. He's the first player in NFL history to score 200 points in a season. https://t.co/oNM6s6R37R
The @Seahawks trailed for 1:35 seconds this postseason...
That is the fewest amount of time trailing by a Super Bowl champion since the Redskins in 1991.
The @Seahawks defense had more sacks (9) and takeaways (4) in 2 games at Levi's Stadium this season than the 49ers did in their 8 home games combined (7 sacks, 3 takeaways)
Kenneth Walker III also had more runs of 20+ yards (3) than the whole SF team (2) in that stadium
