Super Seahawks walking in a Winter Wonderland

Sports News Headlines - Yahoo! News By Larry Fine EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (Reuters) - The National Football League took a gamble when it went against convention and decided to stage the Super Bowl at an outdoor stadium in New Jersey during the winter but it proved a great success. A week after snowfall in the greater New York metropolitan area brought concerns that the Super Bowl date could be in jeopardy, a spring-like wave of weather arrived, putting more than 82,000 fans at MetLife Stadium into a party mood. By the end of the game, it was the Seahawks turn to celebrate under a sky full of green and blue confetti marking their 43-8 trouncing of the Denver Broncos. Seattle proved that defense still rules in the Big Game as they embarrassed the usually high-scoring Broncos to win their first NFL championship in franchise history.
