I’m not saying I called this game perfectly…
…but I’m also not not saying I should start charging people for predictions.
Because before this game I said:
Seattle 31 – Patriots 20
Actual score:
Seattle 29 – Patriots 13
That’s close enough that if this were horseshoes or hand grenades, I’d already have a trophy and a sponsorship from a psychic hotline.
From the first quarter, Seattle came out like a team that had already seen the ending of the movie.
The Patriots?
They looked like a group project where half the group didn’t read the instructions and the other half brought the wrong textbook.
But this game wasn’t really about the offense.
This game was about Seattle’s defense putting on a masterclass in controlled chaos.
Let’s talk about the real stars of Super Bowl 60.
Seattle’s defense didn’t just play well.
They played like somebody insulted their families.
They:
- Pressured Drake Maye constantly
- Forced turnovers
- Collapsed the pocket all night
- Controlled the line of scrimmage
- Even scored on defense
Maye was under pressure so much he probably started hearing footsteps in the huddle.
At one point it felt like Seattle had 14 defenders on the field.
I checked.
Still 11.
They were just everywhere.
Receivers couldn’t get open.
The run game went nowhere.
And every time the Patriots tried to build momentum, Seattle shut the door like a bouncer at 2 a.m.
Third quarter.
Patriots trying to mount a drive.
Seattle defense says: “No.”
Turnover.
Short field.
Points.
That was the moment the entire stadium felt it.
You could practically hear Patriots fans thinking:
“Yeah… this is not our night.”
Kenneth Walker didn’t run the ball.
He escaped gravity.
Super Bowl MVP Stats
- 27 carries
- 135 rushing yards
- 26 receiving yards
Every time Walker touched the ball, Patriots defenders were diving at him like toddlers chasing pigeons in a park.
By the fourth quarter, New England defenders weren’t trying to tackle him anymore… they were trying to negotiate.
“Sir… please… just step out of bounds.”

Sam Darnold played quarterback the way you play Madden when you’re winning comfortably:
- About 200 passing yards
- 1 touchdown
- No big mistakes
He didn’t force anything.
Didn’t panic.
Didn’t do anything crazy.
Basically, he drove the offense like a guy driving a minivan—safe, efficient, and getting everyone where they needed to go.
And when your defense and running game are playing like Seattle’s were… that’s all you need.
Let’s talk about the sneaky hero of this game.
Jason Myers kicked FIVE field goals.
Five.
At one point the Patriots defense probably thought:
“Are they ever going to stop sending this guy out here?”
Myers was so automatic I’m convinced he could’ve kicked one from the parking lot.
Drake Maye had a rough night.
And when I say rough, I mean:
- Constant pressure
- Multiple sacks
- Turnovers
- A defensive touchdown allowed
Seattle’s defense hit him so much I think his Fitbit thought he ran a marathon.

The Patriots didn’t even get real momentum until late in the game, and by then Seattle fans were already arguing about where the parade route should be.
This game will be remembered for a few reasons:
- Kenneth Walker dominating the biggest stage
- Seattle’s defense putting on one of the most suffocating Super Bowl performances in years
- Jason Myers setting a Super Bowl record with five field goals
- The Patriots learning that pass protection is, in fact, important
And most importantly…
This was the kind of Super Bowl where one team showed up ready to win… and the other team showed up hoping things would just sort of work out.
Spoiler alert: they didn’t.
Again, I said:
Seattle 31 – Patriots 20
Actual:
Seattle 29 – Patriots 13
I picked the winner.
I picked the script.
I picked the style of game.
At this point I’m not predicting games anymore—I’m basically reading the future.
I’m thinking of predicting the weather next.
Tomorrow’s forecast:
Cloudy… with a 100% chance of Seahawks highlights.
Seattle didn’t just win this Super Bowl.
They controlled it.
They dominated it.
They basically redecorated it.
And somewhere, right now, Kenneth Walker is probably still running—and a Patriots offensive lineman is still looking around trying to figure out where the Seahawks pass rush came from.
Slowly.
Very slowly.

My name is Errol Marks and I’d like to tell you why I believe I can be a major asset to your station. I’m from a small town in Long Island, NY and from a very young age I’ve always had a love for sports talk radio. Growing up, I would listen religiously to shows like Mike and the Mad Dog, Mike and Mike, and Imus in the Morning and studied what made those shows so great. I’ve made it my goal to be as influential as the hosts I grew up listening to, and with my knowledge of all major sports, enthusiastic and fearless personality, and my preparation skills, I know I can get to that level. This is an art and a medium that I’m passionate about and one that I feel can never be replaced.
What makes my story so unique goes beyond my 10+ years of experience in sports media. In addition to over ten years of creating and hosting sports talk radio shows, I created the World Wide Sports Radio Network - one of the first ever digital sports radio networks - in 2012. Since the network began, we have had some of the best content in digital sports media. We have six quality shows on our network covering all sports and sports betting. I’m currently hosting New York’s Sports Loud Mouth, and you can find that show and the rest of our great shows at https://worldwidesportsradio.com/.
Our network’s content and listenership has grown significantly year to year and, in the past year, we’ve achieved 3.6 million minutes listened on our audio stream, over 29k followers on tik tok, 500k viewed on YouTube, 1.7 million downloads on Apple Podcasts, and 906,917 plays on Spotify. While we are enjoying a continued increase in growth, I feel that we can take this to a new level and a new audience with your help.
My goal since the day I started is to become the greatest and most recognizable sports radio show host in the country. I can guarantee that nobody in this industry currently has my passion, personality or ability to shape the future of sports broadcasting and entertainment like I do. If given the opportunity, I hope to further share my story and many talents with you and your station.
