Best line Seattle went medieval on the Broncos. EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The Seattle Seahawks spent the bulk of the 2013 season lulling millions of football fans into adopting a distorted perception of their relative might. They conserved their comprehensive displays of excellence for key moments and dared to rely on an old-fashioned, unflashy formula for success, and even as they won 15 of their first 18 games, a lot of people misread the message. Super Bowl XLVIII: Seahawks 43, Broncos 8. Heading into their Super Bowl XLVIII showdown with Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos, the darlings of a fantasy-obsessed football universe, the Seahawks were slight underdogs whose ability to slow down a record-setting offense was called into doubt. Then, on Super Sunday, the Seahawks delivered a dose of harsh reality and smashed that naïve narrative to smithereens. From the jump, Seattle went Medieval on the Broncos and never let up, rolling to a 43-8 victory at not-so-chilly MetLife Stadium that evoked memories of the bad old days of perpetual Super Bowl blowouts.
