- The Seattle Seahawks won their second Super Bowl title, defeating the New England Patriots 29-13, with Kenneth Walker III earning Super Bowl MVP honors after rushing for 135 yards, as reported by the Associated Press.
- Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold threw a touchdown pass to AJ Barner and Jason Myers set a Super Bowl record by making all five of his field-goal attempts, while the "Dark Side" defense, led by Mike Macdonald, pummeled Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, sacking him six times.
- The Patriots, led by coach Mike Vrabel, were denied their seventh Super Bowl title, with Maye stating "Definitely hurts. They played better than us tonight," after the game, which was marked by a strong defensive performance by the Seahawks, including a 45-yard pick-6 by Uchenna Nwosu.
JUSTICE MATTERS
NPR and NPR frame the story similarly, using words like "pounding" and "ferocious" to describe the Seahawks' defense, while PBS NewsHour takes a different approach, focusing on the role of aggressive free agency spending in leading the teams to the Super Bowl. This framing difference obscures the fact that the Seahawks' victory was not just a result of their defense, but also a culmination of various factors, including team strategy and player development, as hinted at by PBS NewsHour. By centering the voices of players and coaches, as seen in NPR's quotes from Macdonald and Darnold, the systemic context of the NFL and its business aspects are removed from the narrative.
