Il Nuovo Postiglione - Seahawks celebrate Super Bowl win with title parade

Fans gathered at Lumen Field, the Seahawks' home stadium, for a trophy ceremony three days after the club defeated New England 29-13 in Super Bowl 60.

"We're the best in the world," Seattle wide receiver Jaxson Smith-Njigba screamed as the crowd cheered in response.

Players then brought beer kegs, champagne and cigars onto the backs of trucks for a raucous two-mile (3.2km) parade through downtown Seattle.

Seahawks fans, known as the 12s for their role as an extra game influencer beyond the 11 players on the field, chanted the team's name as they delivered a parade sendoff.

"It was insane, all the 12s that came out. It was cool to see," said Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker, the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player.

Walker, who took his family on a trip to Disneyland after the victory, had not had time to let the impact of the title settle upon him as he held the trophy in the air while the parade crowd roared.

"Day by day, I've been busy going everywhere. I haven't had time to think," he said. "Parade is the last thing. Then I'm going home and relax."

It was anything but relaxed along Fourth Avenue as fans packed the streets shoulder to shoulder and 20 or more deep for a glimpse at their heroes, some people camping out overnight for the opportunity.

"This is incredible. It's unreal," Seahawks cornerback Tariq Woolen said. "Last time I saw a crowd like this I was playing (a video game). We need this to last forever."

Seahawks offensive tackle Abe Lucas, who grew up in suburban Everett, smiled and laughed as the crowd cheered and screamed.

"This is amazing," Lucas said. "I'm having a great time. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Some of the Seahawks, however, were already looking ahead to repeat the celebration in 2027.

"We're not done," Seahawks defensive tackle Leonard Williams said. "We're coming back next year."
