Super Bowl LX Results
The 60th Super Bowl and the 56th in the modern era of the NFL, the game was played at Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, California. It was Levi’s Stadium’s second time hosting the Super Bowl, the first being Super Bowl 50 in 2016.
The Bay Area hosted a week of events leading up to the game, including the NFL Honors and Super Bowl Experience.
The Seahawks stamped their authority on Super Bowl LX, overpowering the Patriots 29–13 in Santa Clara to claim the franchise’s second Lombardi Trophy. Seattle’s defence was the difference, piling on six sacks and three takeaways to keep New England scoreless until the final quarter, while Kenneth Walker III delivered a powerhouse performance on the ground with 135 rushing yards, the most in a Super Bowl in nearly three decades. With Sam Darnold steering the offence and Mike Macdonald’s “Dark Side” defence suffocating Drake Maye, the Seahawks controlled the contest from start to finish, sealing a dominant and well‑deserved championship win.
The first touchdown of Super Bowl LX was scored by Seattle Seahawks tight end A.J. Barner, who hauled in a 16‑yard pass from Sam Darnold early in the fourth quarter — the first TD of the game after Seattle had previously settled for four Jason Myers field goals.

In a throwback to the drama of Super Bowl XLIX, the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots are set to clash at Levi’s Stadium for the 2025 NFL championship. New England will be hoping for a familiar outcome to their famous triumph more than a decade ago, when Malcolm Butler’s unforgettable goal‑line interception sealed a fourth title for Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. This time, it’s rookie quarterback Drake Maye and head coach Mike Vrabel steering the Patriots, who secured their Super Bowl berth with a gritty 10–7 win over the Broncos in a snow‑soaked AFC Championship. Maye threw for just 86 yards – his lowest total of the season – but his 65 rushing yards, including a clutch late first‑down run, proved decisive.
Seattle booked its spot with a 31–27 victory over the Rams in a pulsating NFC Championship at Lumen Field. Sam Darnold delivered the best performance of his career, going 25‑of‑36 for 346 yards and three touchdowns, while Jaxon Smith‑Njigba continued his breakout season with 10 receptions for 153 yards and a score. The Seahawks head into the Super Bowl riding a nine‑game winning streak, and a 10th straight victory would secure the franchise its second Lombardi Trophy.

Every NFL season you’ll find odds on major bets like the next Super Bowl winner. The TAB NZ always have futures Super Bowl odds available with all-in markets on the next Super Bowl champions!
Teams like the Detroit Lions, Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens and Philadelphia Eagles are often big money favourites to take out the Vince Lombardi Trophy each year.
Match Betting
Head-to-head (also known as match outcome) bets are the classic way to bet on sports matches like the Super Bowl, where two teams are competing to win. Head-to-head bets wager on who will win the match, with the odds based on a range of factors including form, match location and players available.
If you’re punting on a head-to-head matchup, it’s worth keeping informed about each team’s form and other factors, following team trends, form guides and recent player performance to help guide you.
Handicap Betting
You’ll find that line betting (sometimes called ‘points spread’ betting) in the Super Bowl is much like line betting in other sports markets. Line betting markets try to create an even betting field, adding or subtracting points to a team’s total score. For example, the team tipped to win the Super Bowl could have a line of -1.5 points, meaning they have to score an additional 1.5 points for the bet to win.
Consider line bets as a good way to get value from teams that may otherwise be unlikely to succeed in head-to-head betting markets.
Total Betting
Sometimes called a ‘totals’ bet, over/under betting lets you take a punt on the total combined score of both teams in the Super Bowl. There’s not much more to it but, if you’re keen on an over/under bet, it can be worth keeping in mind the individual characteristics of both teams. For example, stingy defences on both sides will likely see a lower score overall, while attacking teams will bring the points total up.
It’s worth keeping an eye on the form and player history of both teams if you’re planning on an over/under punt.

History of the Super Bowl
With an almost mythical history, the Super Bowl is one of the highlights of the world’s sporting calendar. Before punting on Super Bowl LIX, it’s worth learning a little of the game’s history. Here’s everything you need to know:
- Origins: The Super Bowl as we know it today exists due to a merger between the National Football League (NFL) and the American Football League (AFL) in 1966.
- First Super Bowl: The inaugural Super Bowl was held on January 15 1967, though it was not known as the Super Bowl at the time (it was called the AFL-NFL World Championship Game). The Green Bay Packers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 35–10.
- The name: According to legend, the Super Bowl name came from Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt, whose son had a ‘Super Ball’ toy.
- Most successful teams: The New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh Steelers both hold the title of most successful Super Bowl winners, with six trophies each.
- Recent winners: The past five Super Bowls have been won by the Kansas City Chiefs (2024, 2023, 2020), the Los Angeles Rams (2022), and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2021).
- Most successful players: The player with the most NFL Championship wins is quarterback Tom Brady with seven (six with the New England Patriots, one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers). Three players have won six championships: offensive linemen Fuzzy Thurston and Forrest Gregg, and defensive back Herb Adderley.
Memorable Super Bowl Moments
There have been plenty of big Super Bowl moments since the first match in 1967, but here are a few of the very best individual moments:
- Joe Montana (Super Bowl XXIV, 1990): Montana threw 297 yards and scored five touchdowns to lead the San Francisco 49ers to a 55-10 victory over the Denver Broncos (securing a third MVP award along the way)
- Tom Brady (Super Bowl LI, 2017): It’s been called the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history, and it wouldn’t have happened without the legendary Tom Brady. Brady threw 466 yards and dragged the New England Patriots from 28-3 to a 34-28 win in overtime.
- Jerry Rice (Super Bowl XXIII, 1989): The best wide receiver game ever? Rice had 11 passes, 215 yards and a touchdown to help the 49ers beat the Bengals.
