When it comes to sports blogging, Steve Kaycee tends to usually be a little too thematic with pages, such as Extra Sessions and The Bonus Round.
When it comes to updating blog pages, such as those two aforementioned pages, well then Steve Kaycee tends to make that process a little too slow-moving of a line.
But what if we told you that we here at Art Infliction have a page that counters both of those problems?
Yes, that’s right, we have yet another blog page (this one) that allows us to post entries, as well as help us better decide how we want to keep the blog page update line moving along.
Okay, so now that we’ve established why we launched this page, we will now establish the “how”, as in how this page will operate.
You see, Steve Kaycee is usually one to have a reaction to something, such as how he feels about the final outcome of a sporting event.
And for the first time since March 24, 2024, he has a reaction entry, with it being him reacting to the outcomes of all of his Super Bowl 60 predictions.
You can check it below.

“Steve Reacts: Super Bowl 60”
Well, the 2025-26 NFL season has come to a close. And just like a year ago today, a badass defense from the NFC imposed their will on an AFC representative that had no business being in the final game. That’s right, the Seattle Seahawks won the milestone 60th Super Bowl, and stymied the Drake Maye-led New England Patriots offense during most of their consequential possessions. And somewhere, members of elite Los Angeles Charger, Houston Texan and Denver Bronco defenses can all rejoice in the fact that karma caught up to the team that somehow eliminated all of theirs.
Alright, so now that I got that out of the way, it’s time to see how accurate that I was in my predictions for last night’s game. Let’s begin with how Maye fared against Seattle’s defense.
Alright, I did say that the Seahawks would inflict demolition derby style hits on him, meaning that he would get hit so hard that such plays would make an ESPN big hits highlight reel. And as to how that went, well he got hit harder by Texans defensive end Danielle Hunter in the Divisional Round, but he got hit 11 times in this game, with 11 of those hits resulting in six Seattle sacks. So, no none of those demolition derby style hits occurred last night, but Seattle’s relentlessness took a toll on him, and he didn’t have the luxury of a lead for most of the game like he had for long stretches against both the Chargers and Texans. Now onto Seattle’s offense.
Offensively, there were more opportunities than I had realized for Sam Darnold and the Seahawks passing game, yet Seattle’s signal caller couldn’t capitalize on most of them. But that’s okay, because he put his team in position for points, to the tune of the first 12 of them coming via field goals. And while the Patriots defense was valiant in keeping them in it, the dam burst against after them, as Darnold & Company took advantage of a short field via him hitting tight end AJ Barner for a 16-yard touchdown pass to extend the lead to 19-0. And by that point, the deficit seemed insurmountable for Mike Vrabel’s squad to overcome. Now onto the final score.
In yesterday’s entry, I did say 21-10 would be the final score, as I thought after yesterday’s Art Infliction update that the Seahawks were probably going to get two offensive touchdowns, and another one either via defense or special teams, while the Patriots would score a touchdown to make the game a little too close for comfort, only for the Seahawks to get another touchdown of their own to ice it late. And while 21 still could have happened without three touchdowns, it was unlikely, so I own the fact that I was wrong about that particular prediction. And no matter if the Patriots scored that late garbage time touchdown or not, I could have been wrong about the 10 if the Seahawks didn’t allow any more points for the rest of the game, as they were up 29-7 at that point. But of course, the Patriots didn’t settle for a field goal on that second-to-last offensive possession of theirs, therefore that touchdown scored by Rhamondre Stevenson caused that 10 prediction to be wrong as well. Regardless, the team that I picked to win emerged as the winner, and I’ll take that over all of that sports handicapping mumbo jumbo any day of the week.
Finally, there’s the prediction of Super Bowl MVP, which had gone to quarterbacks (Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts) for three years in a row. Of course, I think a quarterback getting that award is a somewhat lazy voting process, as I look impact from other positions, i.e. Aaron Donald basically winning Super Bowl 56 for the Los Angeles Rams, via him causing that fourth down stop against Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals offense. Yes, Super Bowl MVP voting is a flawed system. However, they got it right last night, as Kenneth Walker III (my prediction for the award) went 2006 LaDainian Tomlinson on the Patriots defense, with 135 rushing yards on 27 carries. Granted, he didn’t get in the end zone (that nullified rushing touchdown obviously doesn’t count), but his consistency in gaining yards on the ground both set the tone for the Seahawks offense, and played a big part in their first 12 points, therefore netting him that accolade. So yeah, I was correct on that prediction.
The score of 29-13 might seem anti-climatic on paper, but the display of a complete team in the Seahawks playing together as one was on full display last night, and that makes this milestone 60th Super Bowl a truly memorable one. And I totally doubt that Sam Darnold will go all rockstar like Russell Wilson did after Super Bowl 48, thus the Seahawks and their brilliant concept of team likely won’t be going away anytime soon.
