Result: Seattle 43, Denver 8
Entering Super Bowl XLVIII, one question was on everybody’s mind — which unit will prevail, Seattle’s defense or Denver’s offense?
Seattle boasted the league’s top defense in 2013. The Seahawks allowed less than 275 yards per game and surrendered 14.4 PPG, and finished with 39 takeaways — pacing the league in all three categories. Offensively, Denver led the NFL in yards per game (457.3) and PPG (37.9). Seattle destroyed Denver from the opening moments of the game. The Seahawks raced out to a 22-0 lead at halftime, and extended their lead to 36-0 in the third quarter. Peyton Manning’s offense had zero answers for Seattle’s historic defense. The result? The worst Super Bowl of all-time.
