SB 48: Seahawks cruise to crown in Big Apple

The Seahawks won their first Super Bowl title in overpowering fashion, punishing Peyton Manning and the Broncos at the New Jersey Meadowlands.

Steven Hauschka added two field goals to make it 8-0 after one quarter.

Manning's third-down pass to Julius Thomas sailed way too high and was intercepted by safety Kam Chancellor, giving the Seahawks the ball at the Denver 37.

Linebacker Malcolm Smith, the game's MVP, put an end to the Broncos' longest drive of the day (15 plays in 8:29) with a 69-yard interception return for a TD.

Percy Harvin returned the opening kickoff of the second half 87 yards for another Seattle TD.
