Former US President Barack Obama congratulated the 2026 Super Bowl champions, the Seattle Seahawks, with a heartfelt post.
Taking to social media, the first African-American president of the United States celebrated the Seahawks’ victory over the New England Patriots at Super LX.
Sharing the Hawks victory post on the Instagram story, Obama wrote, “Congratulations to the Super Bowl champion @seahawks! This defense was special.”
He also praised running back Kenneth Walker III and Sam Darnold, who delivered exceptional performances during the thrilling clash.
“MVP Kenneth Walker was dominant. And Sam Darnold gave us one of the best comeback stories in a long time. Enjoy the celebration,” the 64-year-old added.
During the historic night, Walker became the first-ever running back to be named Super Bowl MVP since Terrell Davis in 1998. He rushed for 135 yards on 27 carries against the Patriots, adding 26 receiving yards on two catches.
Moreover, Darnold made history as the first quarterback to win a Super Bowl after playing for over five different teams. He is also the fourth quarterback to win an NFL title in his first season with a new team.
The Seattle Seahawks dominated the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl 60 to claim a 29-13 victory at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, taking revenge for the 2015 championship loss.
