- Kenneth Walker III totaled 161 yards from scrimmage, including 135 rushing, to earn Super Bowl MVP as Jason Myers set a Super Bowl record with five field goals.
- Sam Darnold threw for 202 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions, and Seattle became the first Super Bowl champion to complete a postseason without a turnover.
- Offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak said on NFL Network he is leaving to become the Raiders’ head coach, opening a key staff vacancy for the champions.
