Senate Resolution Honors Seattle Seahawks’ Super Bowl LX Victory: Recognizing Records, Roster, and the '12s'
The Senate is officially entering the victory parade. This resolution formally recognizes the Seattle Seahawks for their 29-13 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX. It’s a classic congratulatory measure that puts the team’s February 8, 2026, performance into the federal record, detailing everything from the final score in Santa Clara to the team’s impressive 14-3 regular-season run. While these resolutions don’t change laws or taxes, they serve as the official 'pat on the back' from the government to a local institution.
A Season for the History Books
The resolution paints a picture of a dominant season where the Seahawks didn't just win; they broke records. It highlights that the team made history by becoming the first NFL squad to win a Super Bowl without committing a single turnover during their entire postseason run. For anyone who followed the season, the resolution calls out the specific defensive grit that held the Patriots scoreless in the first half and forced punts on nearly every early possession. It also gives a nod to the '12s,' acknowledging that the fans' energy is considered a vital part of the team's culture and success.
Individual Excellence and Record-Breakers
This isn't just a generic 'good job'—the text gets into the weeds of who did what. It singles out running back Kenneth Walker III, the first RB to win Super Bowl MVP in nearly three decades after his 94-yard first-half performance. It also immortalizes kicker Jason Myers’ record-setting night, where his five field goals helped him become the first NFL player to cross the 200-point threshold in a single season (finishing with 206). From Sam Darnold’s touchdown pass to AJ Barner to Devon Witherspoon’s game-changing hit that led to a defensive touchdown, the resolution ensures these specific moments are documented for posterity.
Leadership and the Front Office
Beyond the players on the field, the resolution credits the architects behind the scenes. It commends Head Coach Mike Macdonald for winning a ring in just his second year and General Manager John Schneider for the rare feat of building a second championship roster with entirely new players and a new coach. By directing the Secretary of the Senate to send signed copies of the resolution to Chair Jody Allen and the rest of the leadership team, the government is essentially filing a formal 'thank you' for the economic and cultural boost a championship brings to the Pacific Northwest.
