The Seattle Seahawks ran out 29-13 victors following a relentless defensive performance that pressured New England Patriots star Drake Maye into submission, including six sacks.

And yet, despite one of the all-time greatest defensive showings, an offensive weapon scooped the grand prize.

This year's MVP became the first non-quarterback to win the award since wide receiver Cooper Kupp, who won it with the Los Angeles Rams in 2022 and played for the Seahawks last night.

RadioTimes.com brings you the Super Bowl 2026 MVP.
