Super Bowl LX: Seattle Seahawks vs New England Patriots

Since Super Bowl LX between the Seahawks and Patriots was being played at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, I decided to arrange a place to watch it locally. I looked around at Double D's, but it was too expensive ($150/person). Many other places were already all booked. However, I found that Water Tower Kitchen in Campbell had reservations available (with a $50 per-person minimum). I made reservations for 3:00 p.m. and arrived at around 2:30 p.m. to secure good seats. Luckily, we arrived at a half-empty restaurant and were seated in a convenient location (upstairs), with excellent viewing of multiple TV sets.

We ordered the following items (I was very hungry from the previous mountain bike ride around Lexington Reservoir):

Shareables: Hummus with Pita, Buffalo Chicken Bites
Alex: Miso Salmon, Strawberry Drink
Boris: Baja Shrimp Ceviche & Shrimp Salad, Calisqueeze Blood Orange Wheat Beer

The food was average, but I really liked my Calisqueeze Blood Orange Wheat Beer. It was really delicious, and I had two glasses (one for free, since the waitress was too busy)!

The Super Bowl was not very exciting as the Seahawks steamrolled the Patriots.

When Bad Bunny's half-time show came on, the restaurant dimmed the lights, and lots of young, Spanish-speaking ladies came out dancing.

We watched the first 3 quarters, but the game was getting boring, so we left during the fourth (and final) quarter.

We left during the fourth quarter. The following full-game recap is background rather than an account of everything we watched.

Super Bowl LX Recap: Seattle Reigns Supreme

February 8, 2026 | Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 29

N.E. PATRIOTS 13

Quarter-by-Quarter Breakdown

1st Quarter: Defense First

The game opened with a physical statement from Seattle’s defense. After an opening drive led by Kenneth Walker III, the Seahawks settled for a 33-yard Jason Myers field goal. The Patriots' offense was held to a quick three-and-out.

2nd Quarter: The Battle of Field Position

The "Dark Side" defense intensified the pressure on Drake Maye. While Seattle's offense moved the chains, it couldn't crack the end zone against a disciplined New England front. Two more Jason Myers field goals extended the lead as the Patriots went into the half scoreless.

3rd Quarter: History in the Making

After New England opened the half with a three-and-out, Seattle put together a methodical scoring drive. Myers knocked through his fourth field goal, tying the Super Bowl record. A late New England surge was snuffed out by a Derick Hall sack-fumble.

4th Quarter: The Floodgates Open

The final fifteen minutes provided the fireworks:

Seahawks TD: Sam Darnold connects with AJ Barner for a 16-yard score.
Patriots Response: Drake Maye hits Mack Hollins for a 35-yard TD strike.
Record Broken: Jason Myers hits his 5th FG of the night.
The Dagger: Uchenna Nwosu returns an interception 45 yards for a defensive TD.
