Seahawk’s MVP Malcolm Smith said, “There was great coverage on the back end, and great pressure (throughout the game).”

After being taken out for an ankle injury during the game, Richard Sherman also shared, “It was a rough game but … achieving a dream man … it really numbs the pain a lot. This feeling is unbelievable, it’s a dream come true.”

John Fox addressed the outcome of the game: “Congratulations to Pete Carroll, his staff, and his team. They’re a great team, and we didn’t perform up to par to be able to hang with them.”

Peyton Manning also chimed in, “It was disappointing for our entire team. We worked hard to get to this point, overcame a lot of obstacles to be here. It’s a really good thing just to have this opportunity, but certainly to finish this way is very disappointing. It’s not an easy pill to swallow but eventually we have to.”

With a surprising win over the Broncos, the Seahawks took home their first victory and the Super Bowl title.
