SUPER BOWL XLVIII from East Rutherford, New Jersey

This is it for football. The Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks do battle in the home of the Giants and Jets for the ultimate prize, the Lombardi Trophy. Seattle began in the first quarter with a safety as the Denver snapped the ball through the back of the end zone. The Seahawks added on with a Steven Hauschka 31 yard field goal. Seattle extended the lead on a 33 yard field goal by Hauschka. The Seahawks padded the lead in the second quarter on a 1 yard touchdown run by Marshawn Lynch, and Hauschka booted the extra point. Seattle struck again when Malcolm Smith intercepted Peyton Manning and returned the ball 69 yards for a touchdown, and Hauschka iced the play with the extra point. The Seahawks got some more in the third quarter as Percy Harvin returned the opening kickoff 87 yards for a touchdown, and Hauschka handled the PAT. Seattle kept going as Russell Wilson threw a 23 yard touchdown pass to Jermaine Kearse, and Hauschka supplied the extra point. Denver got on the board with a Peyton Manning touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas for 14 yards, and Manning was able to find Wes Welker for the two-point conversion. The Seahawks replied with a Wilson touchdown pass of 10 yards to Doug Baldwin, and Hauschka nailed the extra point. This was all they needed for a 43-8 win. The Seahawks are Super Bowl Champions, while the Broncos record-setting season ends without a trophy.
