THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS ARE OFFICIALLY UP FOR SALE

Paul G. Allen’s estate launches a multi-year franchise sale aimed at record NFL valuations and major philanthropic impact.

Summary

• The Seattle Seahawks are officially up for sale less than two weeks after winning Super Bowl 60 in Santa Clara

• Paul G. Allen’s estate has begun a formal sale process, honoring his directive to sell his sports holdings and direct the proceeds to philanthropy

• Investment bank Allen & Company and law firm Latham & Watkins will run a multi‑year sale expected to fetch a record NFL franchise price while the team stays locked into Lumen Field and Seattle

Fresh off a second Lombardi and a parade that shut down downtown, the Seattle Seahawks are suddenly the hottest asset on the sports market. The Paul G. Allen Estate has kicked off a formal sale process for the reigning Super Bowl champions, an unprecedented move in the modern NFL and the climactic chapter in the late Microsoft co‑founder’s plan to liquidate his sports empire for charitable giving. Allen bought the franchise in 1997 for just under $200 million, keeping it from bolting to Southern California, and under Paul and Jody Allen the Seahawks evolved from league afterthought to perennial contender and two‑time Super Bowl winner.

The estate has tapped Allen & Company and Latham & Watkins to handle the deal, a process the team says will stretch through the 2026 offseason before any buyer is vetted and ratified by at least 24 of 32 NFL owners. Public valuations peg the Seahawks in the $6.6 billion USD to $7 billion USD range, with some post‑title projections pushing the number toward eight digits, positioning the sale to eclipse the Washington Commanders and even challenge the $10 billion USD Los Angeles Lakers benchmark. With a long‑term lease at Lumen Field, sold‑out crowds since 2003 and the NFL’s next media‑rights cycle on deck, whoever steps in next inherits a ready‑made contender, a locked‑in city and one of the league’s most powerful platforms for both business and philanthropy.

NIGERIAN HERITAGE HELPED SEATTLE SEAHAWKS WIN THE SUPER BOWL LX

 

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS ARE YOUR SUPER BOWL LX CHAMPIONS

A decade after a heartbreak at the goal line, Seattle claims its second Lombardi Trophy with a 29–13 victory.

Summary

• The Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 29–13 in Super Bowl LX, securing the franchise’s second championship

• Kicker Jason Myers tied a Super Bowl record with five field goals, while the defense forced multiple turnovers from Patriots QB Drake Maye

• The victory serves as a narrative redemption for the team’s 2015 loss to New England and caps a comeback season for quarterback Sam Darnold

11 years after one of the most painful losses in sports history, the Seattle Seahawks have finally flipped the script. On Sunday night at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Seattle defeated the New England Patriots 29–13 to win Super Bowl LX, earning the second title in franchise history. In a game billed as a rematch of Super Bowl XLIX—famous for the Malcolm Butler interception—the Seahawks relied on a suffocating defense and the steady leg of kicker Jason Myers to deny New England a league-leading seventh championship. The victory also completes an improbable redemption arc for quarterback Sam Darnold, who hoisted the Lombardi Trophy after revitalizing his career in the Pacific Northwest.

For much of the evening, the game was a defensive grind that saw the Patriots shut out for three quarters—a drought not seen in the Super Bowl since the 1973 Minnesota Vikings. Seattle’s offense, while struggling to find the end zone early, capitalized on field position. Jason Myers became the game’s unlikely MVP candidate, converting five field goals—including a 41-yarder—to tie a Super Bowl record and give Seattle a commanding 15-0 lead heading into the final frame. The Patriots’ rookie sensation Drake Maye struggled under the bright lights, facing constant pressure and suffering five sacks.

The game broke open in the fourth quarter when Seattle’s defense turned pressure into points. Cornerback Devon Witherspoon blitzed Maye, forcing a fumble that linebacker Uchenna Nwosu scooped up and returned 45 yards for a touchdown, effectively sealing the game. While Patriots quarterback Drake Maye managed late touchdown passes to Mack Hollins and Rhamondre Stevenson to narrow the deficit, the hole was too deep to climb out of. Seattle’s tight end AJ Barner also contributed the game’s first touchdown, catching a 16-yard strike from Darnold following another Patriots turnover.

Beyond the gridiron action, the night was historic for its cultural milestones. Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny headlined the Apple Music Halftime Show, becoming the first artist to perform a primarily Spanish-language set at the event. Bringing a “huge party” atmosphere to the field with guests Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, the performance celebrated Latin culture amidst the high-stakes athletics. The Seattle Seahawks will return to the Pacific Northwest for a victory parade scheduled later this week, while the NFL offseason officially begins.

SKYLAR THOMPSON SUFFERS 'PAINFUL' RIB INJURY IN LOSS TO SEAHAWKS

AP

SEATTLE -- Miami Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson left midway through the third quarter of Sunday's 24-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks after suffering what coach Mike McDaniel called a painful rib injury.

Making his first start of the season in place of the injured Tua Tagovailoa, Thompson took a hard hit on Miami's second drive of the third quarter and remained down for several minutes while medical trainers attended to him. He was ultimately able to leave the field and return to the Dolphins' locker room under his own power.

Third-string quarterback Tim Boyle entered the game for Thompson. Boyle was signed to the Dolphins' practice squad prior to Week 1 and was elevated this past week after Tagovailoa was placed on injured reserve.

McDaniel said Thompson suffered a rib injury and wanted to play through it; ultimately, the Dolphins will not know the full extent of Thompson's injury until Monday.

"I haven't talked to Skylar as of the end of the game," McDaniel said after Sunday's game. "It was a rib injury that was pretty painful. And half the pain or half of the frustration for him, I think, was he was trying to find a way to not come out of the game. And ultimately it was pretty painful. He fought through it, but we'll get a chance to look at him tomorrow."

Before leaving, Thompson completed 13 of 19 passes for 107 yards. He was sacked five times in his fourth career start.

McDaniel didn't reveal what the Dolphins' plan is for the upcoming week if Thompson is unable to go for Miami's home matchup against Tennessee next Monday night. Miami did sign Tyler Huntley off the Baltimore Ravens' practice squad last week, but he was not active for Sunday's game. Huntley was listed as the team's emergency quarterback.

Boyle completed 7 of 9 passes for 79 yards, adding a 6-yard scramble on the ground as well.

He nearly led the Dolphins to their lone touchdown drive of the day but threw an incomplete pass on fourth down at the Seattle 2-yard line; the Dolphins earned nine first downs in the game, four of which came on that drive.

"It's an attitude game. Go out there, we're down a couple scores. But you got to go out and prove what you've got," Boyle said. "It builds a lot of character as a person, as a competitor. I'm glad we put a couple drives together. Obviously, we got stopped there on fourth down at the goal line. When you're struggling like that, you're trying to find completions, you're trying to find positive yards and put a drive together."

Boyle said nothing about his preparation would change if he were to start next week's game against the Tennessee Titans; it's unclear whether he or Huntley would get the nod in the event Thompson is not cleared to play.
