Mike Macdonald can call himself a Super Bowl champion head coach in just his second season on the sidelines for the Seattle Seahawks.
The Seahawks put on an impressive defensive performance in the team’s Super Bowl LX victory over the New England Patriots, 29-13. Macdonald celebrated with his team on the field at Levi’s Stadium and NBC’s Maria Taylor asked what the victory meant to him.

“I believe God called me to coach, I listened to him and I think about him,” Macdonald said. “We’re incredibly lucky to be Seahawks, to be 12 years old. And now we’re world champions.”
Macdonald, somehow, designed a defense to deter Patriots quarterback Drake Maye all night. He made one or two clutch throws, but it was nowhere near enough as Seattle made him uncomfortable all night.

The Seahawks defense sacked Maye six times on the night. He threw two interceptions and lost a fumble. Seattle’s Uchenna Nwosu returned one of those interceptions for a touchdown to help slam the door on any hopes of returning to New England.
Seattle’s defense was a major sticking point throughout the 2025 season. The team was first in points allowed and sixth in yards allowed. The team finished 14-3 in the regular season, won the NFC West and won its first Super Bowl since the 2013 season.
