Seattle Seahawks stomp Broncos for Super Bowl win
By Gregg Rosenthal (NFL), February 2, 2014
The Denver Broncos' offense set all the regular-season records. But the Seattle Seahawks' defense will be the one remembered as an all-time great.
The Seahawks are Super Bowl champions for the first time after whacking the Broncos 43-8 Sunday night. Coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider spent the last four years building the toughest, deepest, most versatile defense in football. Their vision was fully realized for the world to see on the game's biggest stage. (Not bad for a coach that was fired twice in his NFL career.)

The Seahawks' defense made Peyton Manning and company look like a collection of also-rans. Manning was forced to move in pocket on nearly every throw. Denver's running game was stymied. Every first down was a struggle.

It was almost hard to believe what we were watching Sunday night. The Broncos' offense, the picture of efficiency all season, looked completely overwhelmed. They weren't ready for the moment; Seattle was.
This was the Seahawks' time. This team, constructed from the ground up, built toward this game for the last four seasons. Now, they will be mentioned as one of the greatest defenses in NFL history.
