#AMERICAN FOOTBALL | NFL Super Bowl XLVIII Seattle crush Denver in Super Bowl The Seattle Seahawks thrash the prematch favourites Denver Broncos 43-8 to take home Vince Lombardi Trophy. The Seattle Seahawks showed defence still rules in the Super Bowl as they embarrassed the usually high-scoring Denver Broncos 43-8 to win their first NFL championship in franchise history. The top-ranked Seattle defence shut down the top-rated offence of the Broncos and record-setting quarterback Peyton Manning, creating four turnovers and turning what was expected to be a nail biter into a Super Bowl 48 rout. Five previous times the NFLs top-rated defence had faced the leagues number one offence, and the defenders were 4-1 in those encounters. Seattle, and their Legion of Boom defence secondary, fast-covering linebackers and determined pass rushers, upheld the tradition on an unseasonably mild night in the first outdoor venue in a winter-weather site.
