Former United States president Barack Obama sent a public message to the Seattle Seahawks after their Super Bowl LX victory on Sunday.
Seattle’s championship capped a dominant 2025 season, as the Seahawks finished 14-3 and first in the NFC West. They ranked third in scoring at 28.4 points per game. Seattle also led the league on defense, allowing just 17.2 points per game. Balance defined their identity all season.
That form carried into the playoffs. Seattle crushed the San Francisco 49ers 41-6 in the divisional round. They edged the Los Angeles Rams 31-27 in the NFC Championship. The run ended with a 29-13 Super Bowl win over the New England Patriots.
Obama shared a post on X praising the team’s title run. He congratulated Seattle as champions and highlighted the MVP and QB in the win.
"Congratulations to the Super Bowl champion @Seahawks! This defense was special," Obama wrote. "MVP Kenneth Walker was dominant. And Sam Darnold gave us one of the best comeback stories in a long time. Enjoy the celebration."
Super Bowl LX was played at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, and Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald led a defense that recorded six sacks and three takeaways. A fourth-quarter interception return touchdown by Uchenna Nwosu sealed the game.
Walker rushed for 135 yards and earned MVP honors. Kicker Jason Myers set a Super Bowl record with five field goals. Meanwhile, QB Darnold reflected on their run and called the journey special.
“We did it,” Darnold said. "That was it, man. It’s been such a special journey with these guys... It was just a job well done.”
The night also featured a historic halftime show. Bad Bunny headlined and brought out Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin. The win delivered redemption for Seattle, ending memories of their Super Bowl XLIX loss to New England.
