When the Seattle Seahawks clinched Super Bowl LX with a 29–13 victory over the New England Patriots, it marked only the second Lombardi Trophy in franchise history and a high point in the club’s long journey back to football’s summit.
And that means a lot when it comes to where this ranks on the list of all-time Super Bowl wins.
In a recent article by Bleacher Report's Gary Davenport, he ranks who he believes are the top 20 Super Bowl winners ever. And at No. 17, there are the Seahawks on a list topped by the 1985 Chicago Bears.
"Sam Darnold is a Super Bowl champion. Let that roll around in your head for a second," Davenport writes. "The Seahawks were quietly third in the NFL in scoring offense, averaging 28.4 points per game. Seattle was also eighth in total offense and eighth in passing... That "Dark Side" defense was also the story of Super Bowl LX. New England's 335 yards of offense is a myth. The team had one good drive all game long... Put some respect on Seattle's name. This could just be the beginning."
That placement puts Seattle ahead of numerous memorable champions, underscoring a view that this wasn’t just another title — it was an emphatic statement from a team that combined offensive balance with a defense that quickly became the story of the season.
The 2025 Seahawks finished with a 14–3 record in the regular season and carried that form through the playoffs, culminating in a convincing Super Bowl performance.
Another reason this win might be ranked so high is because of who they beat. The Patriots were the opponent in Seattle's loss in the Super Bowl in 2015, and now they were able to get revenge.
And that's gotta feel pretty good.
For Seahawks fans, seeing the 2025 champions ranked No. 17 all-time is both a validation and a conversation starter. It acknowledges a title that was earned with discipline and explosive play, while also opening the door for debate about where this team belongs among the pantheon of great NFL seasons. In a landscape filled with dynastic teams and unforgettable performances, cracking the top 20 is no small feat.
As Seattle celebrates its newest Super Bowl banner, the historical perspective highlights just how special this club’s achievement was — a testament to smart roster building, strategic coaching, and the collective effort of players who delivered when it mattered most.
