"textContent": "<p>SANTA CLARA, Calif. — With two of the NFL's best defenses squaring off in Super Bowl LX, it's been hard to either team to get going and the Seahawks lead the Patriots 9-0 at halftime. Seahawks kicker Jason Myers has made field goals from 33, 39 and 41 yards</p><p>Running back Kenneth Walker III has given the Seahawks somewhat of a spark with 14 carries for 94 yards, but no other offensive players on either side did much in the first half.</p><p>Patriots quarterback <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2026/02/07/in-saga-of-2024-nfl-draft-class-patriots-drake-maye-leads-bears-caleb-williams-others-in-year-2\" >Drake Maye</a> has completed 6 of 11 passes for 48 yards and a 65.7 passer rating, and Seahawks quarterback <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2026/02/06/ridiculed-and-doubted-for-years-seahawks-qb-sam-darnold-declines-to-gloat-at-super-bowl-lx\" >Sam Darnold</a> is 9-for-22 passing for 88 yards and a 52.8 passer rating. Darnold took a shot deep to Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the first quarter and Maye threw long for Mack Hollins in the second, but neither connected.</p><p>Darnold began the game 6-for-17 passing before getting into somewhat of a groove late in the half.</p><p>Cooper Kupp leads the Seahawks with four catches for 44 yards, and Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte has 21 yards on one catch.</p><p>Seahawks defensive tackle Rylie Mills, a rookie who played at Lake Forest High School and Notre Dame, picked a tremendous time for his first NFL sack. He dropped Maye for a 10-yard loss early in the second quarter as part of a sequence the Seahawks forced a punt after taking a 6-0 lead.</p><p>The Patriots will get the ball to begin the second half.</p>",
