美式橄榄球超级碗赛西雅图海鹰队大胜丹佛野马队夺冠

The Seattle Seahawks trounced the Denver Broncos 43-8 Sunday in the 48th annual American football Super Bowl held in MetLife stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

The Seahawks' vaunted defense completely dominated Denver's equally celebrated offense, led by future Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning.  They forced Denver into four turnovers, including two interceptions by Manning, one of them returned 69 yards for a touchdown by linebacker Malcolm Smith to give the Seahawks a 22-0 lead before halftime.

Percy Harvin virtually sealed Seattle's win with an 87-yard kickoff return to start the second half, and quarterback Russell Wilson finished off the Broncos with two-late game touchdown passes to receivers Jermaine Kearse and Doug Baldwin. 

Denver fell behind on the game's first possession when a bad snap flew past Manning and into the end zone for a safety, giving Seattle an early 2-0 lead.

The loss marred a history-making regular season for Manning, who earned his fifth career National Football League Most Valuable Player just one day earlier. 

Seattle Linebacker Smith was named the game's Most Valuable Player.
