Hey guys,
Tonight, we witnessed the 2 #1 Teams in the NFL, but only 1 team became the UNDISPUTED #1 TEAM of the 2013/2014 NFL Season and that team is the Seattle Seahawks The Seahawks def. the Denver Broncos 43-8 Here's the story: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/legion-...45155-nfl.html ![]() Legion of Kaboom! Seahawks jump on Broncos and never let up in Super Bowl blowout of Peyton Manning EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – On the Super Bowl's first snap, Peyton Manning approached the Denver Broncos' line of scrimmage to set blocking assignments only to watch the snapped ball unexpectedly sail past his head. It wound up in the end zone for a Seattle Seahawks safety, the quickest score in Super Bowl history. Things only got better for Seattle and worse for Denver. The result was a Seahawks rout, 43-8, giving the franchise its first NFL championship. Linebacker Malcolm Smith was named MVP, a testament to just how punishing a performance Seattle's defense delivered. The scope of Seattle's dominance was overwhelming, a thorough trashing of favored Denver in every facet of the game. The Seahawks' defensive legion lowered the boom on Manning and his vaunted offense, forcing two picks and carrying a shutout into the third quarter. Meanwhile Seattle scored in almost every imaginable way, a pick-six, a brilliant kickoff return by Percy Harvin, a Marshawn Lynch powerhouse run, a Russell Wilson-to-Jermaine Kearse catch-and-run, a couple field goals and the aforementioned safety. To recap, those are scores via run, pass, kick return, interception, safety and field goal. There aren't many more ways to earn points. It was 22-zip at the half, 29-0 after Harvin took the opening kick of the second half to the house and 36-0 before Denver got on the scoreboard. It was over long before then. This was one of the most lopsided Super Bowls in history (San Francisco's 55-10 defeat of Denver in Super Bowl XXIV remains the record). Seattle managed to score 12 seconds into both halves. The game was decided by Seattle's No. 1 rated defense, which throttled and eventually humiliated a Denver offense that entered the game as the league's top-ranked unit after scoring the most points in a regular season in NFL history. In the run-up to the game, the Seahawks' Legion of Boom was respectful of Manning and his array of weapons, but also expressed the calm confidence that is a trademark of coach Pete Carroll. Call it laidback if you want, but Seattle also entered the biggest stage in football without a hint of fear or doubt despite lacking Super Bowl experience. Seattle forced four turnovers and took Manning completely out of his game. By getting enough pressure on Manning to make him move out of the pocket – Carroll called this a critical focus in the pregame – Denver's record air attack was rendered useless. The Broncos didn't score until the final play of the third quarter, when the game was no longer in doubt. Manning threw two picks, one of which was returned 69 yards for a touchdown by Smith. Manning was also incapable of hitting receivers down field, stuck with short, ineffective passes over the middle. Rushed and uncomfortable, he missed reads, rushed throws and saw passes sail high. He was anything like the player who threw for a record 55 touchdowns this season and was a near-unanimous MVP selection. Then again, Denver didn't face a top 10-defense in the league this season, let alone the top one in Seattle. Manning finished 34 of 49 for 280 yards and a score. He is now 1-2 in Super Bowls, this one a bitter performance at age 36 after a triumphant return from a career-threatening neck injury. Meanwhile his counterpart Russell Wilson was solid enough to avoid major mistakes and move the Seahawks up and down the field for scoring drives. Wilson finished 18 of 25 for 206 yards and two touchdowns. Seattle plays in the Pacific Northwest, far from the nation's traditional media centers, lacks many household stars and is led by a coach in Carroll who is rarely credited for his coaching acumen. Whatever doubts were out there were unfounded. They didn't need stars or gaudy stats. Seattle had a team – clearly the best team in the NFL. credit: sports.yahoo.com Seattle Seahawks; Super Bowl Champions for the very 1st time and the UNDISPUTED #1 Team in the NFL CONGRATS TO THE SEAHAWKS AND WAY TO GO RUSSELL WILSON AND PETE CARROLL ![]() ![]() ![]() A TRUE Quarterback in Russell Wilson ![]() Legion of BOOM!! ![]() WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan and WWE Diva Brie Bella even celebrating a Seahawks Victory

Was a really good game to watch, well, unless you liked the Broncos and you had bet money on them winning.
I'm not really a Seahawks fan, but I will be buying this DVD set when it's released, really fun game. A true team effort. |

This was a great team win!! In fact the MVP could have been shared by the entire Seahawks roster who all contributed to the win!

This is the real reason why the Broncos lost and Seattle won:
With fans like him, Denver never had a chance. |

I'm so proud of my Seahawks and I don't care what any one says. We have the best team both on and off the field. The more I read about what these guys (especially Russell Wilson) do for charities and for others, the more I love them.
I was crying at the end of the game, I was so happy. Sure it was a blow out game, but we've been waiting so long for this! I'm curious to see what happens next season but I'm still going to love my Hawks no matter what. As long as Russell's on the team, they have my support.

Hey guys, I said it during the beginning of the season that the Seattle Seahawks were gonna be the team to watch this season and that they were gonna be the Wild Card of the NFC and I was right all the time
GOOOOO SEAHAWKS!! They swept the Rams during the Regular Season, they beat the Saints (twice), they played the 49ers 3 times and beat'em twice and of course, you beat both Eli and Peyton Manning in the Same Stadium which is MetLife Stadium and now, you're all WORLD CHAMPIONS CONGRATS SEAHAWKS WE'RE IN!! also, this one goes out to Richard Sherman for not only winning a Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks, but also, for takin' care of Drew Brees, Colin Kaepernick, Sam Bradford and Peyton Manning This one is called "Clap Yo Hands" by Naughty by Nature Check it out! ![]() |
