On Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks triumphed as Super Bowl champions, displaying a standout defensive performance through the first three quarters. They effectively neutralized the New England Patriots‘ offense, led by Drake Maye and Stefon Diggs. However, the spotlight ultimately shifted to the Seahawks’ offense, which erupted for 17 points in the fourth quarter to seal the victory.

Offensive Coordinator Klint Kubiak was instrumental in securing this second Super Bowl title in franchise history. Following the game, he made headlines with a surprising announcement about his future. When inquired about his aspirations to become a head coach, he replied, “That’s up to God, I’m going to enjoy the night.” He then delivered a bombshell: “You guys know I’m going to [the Las Vegas Raiders]. I’m fired up about it.”

Kubiak’s transition to Las Vegas marks an exciting opportunity to assist the Raiders in bouncing back during the upcoming season. The team, which struggled during the 2025–26 NFL season, is eager for leadership that can transform the organization.
