More Yards Than the Patriots: Runner Crashes Super Bowl LX
A chase unfolded as stadium security lunged in thin air while the crowd finally found a reason to roar.
Levi’s Stadium spent most of the evening falling into a collective coma.
Fans witnessed an all-time Super Bowl stinker, the kind of game that made a director’s cut of The English Patient look like a Fast and Furious flick.
By the time the fourth quarter kicked off, the Seattle Seahawks were not just winning; they were systematically "dog-walking" Drake Maye and the New England Patriots in a 19-7 slog that felt significantly more lopsided than the scoreboard suggested.
But then, the unthinkable happened. A hero emerged in a rogue sprint.

Just as the final frame began, a lone field invader crashed the action in Santa Clara, shattering the monotony of the stagnant play.
A chase unfolded as stadium security lunged in thin air while the crowd finally found a reason to roar.
Patriots wideout Kyle Williams decided to join the hunt and tracked the runner down like a heat-seeking missile.
It was the only real impact Williams had on the field for the vast majority of the night.
WATCH:
While the Patriots' offense spent three and a half quarters looking like it was stuck in quicksand, this rogue fan actually showed more north-south speed and a better vertical than almost anyone in a white jersey.
Shortly after the runner was caught, the stinker turned into a full-blown nightmare for New England. Seahawks linebacker Uchenna Nwosu put the game on ice when he snagged a deflected Drake Maye pass and rumbled 45 yards for a pick-six.
It was the definitive defensive statement in a game ruled by them, pushing the lead to a demoralizing 29-7.
With just 2:21 left in the game, New England finally orchestrated a respectable drive, culminating in Rhamondre Stevenson receiving a touchdown from Maye.
When the official highlights are buried in the archives, the image of Kyle Williams finally making a play on a guy in a hoodie will be the only thing that lives forever.
New England fans can find small comfort in the Stevenson touchdown, but the Seahawks slammed the door shut to win 29-13 and officially become World Champions once again.
