CNN/Mike Freeman, NFL National Lead Writer, 2/2/14. "Seattle Seahawks defense crushes Broncos, Manning in Super Bowl XLVIII."
.... "This wasn't a football game. This was a coronation of the greatness of
the Seahawks as they marched through Manning and Denver like they were
wearing Ironman suits. Yes, the dominant Seahawks, give them their praise, put this defense up among the best of all time.
.... This game was about the mind. The will of a Seahawks team that likes to punch people in the face versus the will of a Denver offense that thrives on quick-strike power. The bashing of the Broncos wasn't just a beat-down; it was a soul chilling piece of intimidation. They punk'd the Broncos. Especially that Denver offense. The Seahawks threw them to the ground and stood over their carcass and dared them to do something about it and the Broncos looked back…scared.
.... The irony of this game is that the Seahawks were the young team, the inexperienced team, and it was the young Russell Wilson who outplayed the veteran Manning. Wilson was 18-of-25 for 206 yards, two touchdowns and a passer rating of 123.1. A younger, hungrier, and faster Seattle won. They deserved it. And now Manning will go down as the big-game goat. Again. Yet again." Read article. Article includes text, photographs, and videos.
