Welcome to the Ringer NFL show.

I'm your host, Shield Capadia, Super Bowl 60 in the books.

The Seattle Seahawks are Super Bowl champions.

We'll talk about it all.

Was it a good game?

Are they a worthy champ?

Are the Patriots frauds?

And then we go in a bunch of different directions, as always.

So we got Billy Gill, Deante Lee, joining me.

Let's take a break.

We'll come back.

We'll talk Super Bowl.

All right, we are back on the Ringer NFL show.

Shield Capati here with my friends, Deontay Lee, and Billy Gill, the Seattle Seahawks,

our Super Bowl champions, 2913.

I think the weirdest thing for me, guys, is that kind of what everybody expected to happen or what it felt like everybody expected to happen is what actually happened. I'm not saying nobody picked the Patriots, but we were all in San Francisco and you're talking to a lot of people and my friends were sending me, hey, everybody on the ringer picked the Seahawks. It's like, oh my, you know, I started thinking before the game, this is going to go poorly. But in the end, Deante was just like the beat down from the Seahawks, like many of their games have been, dominant defensive performance, offense, doing enough. That's just kind of how the game played out. I agree. And I think it comes back to a lot of conversations that we've had on the show all year, right? Is that the teams who have had the advantage in the trenches ultimately have been the ones that have moved along in this process. New England was an outlier to that. They had kind of been skating by in the playoffs with some poor offensive performances, our offensive line, really struggling in them having turnover issues, and they happen to run into the one team that was not going to give the ball right back to them. Right. And ultimately, I think that the story of this game, while I think that Seattle was able to move the ball pretty effectively, just not punching it in into the end zone, I think ultimately what we're going to remember is a dominant defensive performance, especially up front. Are you going to remember anything from this game, Billy? Was this a good Super Bowl?

Or was this like, you know what? This is one of those for like five years from now. Someone will be like, hey, Billy, do you remember who won the Super Bowl after the 2025 season? And you'll be like, no, I have no idea what happened in that game. So we were talking before the week about whether or not, like, this was a Super Bowl that didn't have a lot of excitement headed into it, right?

And through three quarters, it kind of was like that jack who you know worked with us here came up and

he said this Super Bowl's actually living up to the expectations we had for it which wasn't like a good

thing at that point it'd be kind of exciting right there were a couple touchdowns in the fourth quarter

but yeah i don't I don't know.

I mean, if you love defense, you could have loved this game, right? But was it boring? A little bit. Yeah, it was a little boring. I mean, I'm a defensive guy and I think it was boring. I mean, the Seahawks defense was incredible. It doesn't mean that they weren't dominant. They weren't incredible they were. but from an entertainment value,
