Mike Macdonald can call himself a Super Bowl champion head coach in just his second season on the sidelines of the Seattle Seahawks.
The Seahawks put on an impressive defensive display 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 was asked by NBC’s Maria Taylor what the victory meant to him.

“I think God called me to be a coach and I listened to Him and I think about Him,” Macdonald said. “We are incredibly blessed to be Seahawks, to be 12. And now we are world champions.”
Macdonald somehow engineered a defense to deter Patriots quarterback Drake Maye all night. He made one or two clutch throws, but it was far from enough as Seattle made him uncomfortable all night.

The Seahawks defense sacked Maye six times during the night. He threw two interceptions and lost a fumble. Seattle’s Uchenna Nwosu returned one of those interceptions for a touchdown to help close the door on any hope of a New England comeback.
Seattle’s defense was a major stumbling block during 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.
