Dallas Cowboys legend Michael Irvin didn't hold back when sharing his thoughts on Super Bowl LX. The showdown between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots took place at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara on February 8.
On his recent podcast episode, Irvin expressed strong opinions about the event's location. Despite the festivities being centered in San Francisco, the main game was held an hour away in Santa Clara, which Irvin felt detracted from the experience.
"This was a horrible Super Bowl," Irvin stated. "They should never bring the Super Bowl back to San Francisco.
In all my years attending, this was the worst. The city felt lifeless.
The atmosphere was dull, and even the events lacked excitement. With all the tech money in the area, I expected more, but it was just blah."
The Seahawks emerged victorious with a 29-13 win over the Patriots, marking their first Super Bowl triumph since defeating the Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII.
In the aftermath of the Patriots' loss, insights emerged about how head coach Mike Vrabel managed the team. Vrabel, who took the helm in 2025, led the Patriots to an AFC championship and a Super Bowl appearance in his debut season.
Team insider Mike Reiss shared on the 'Dan Patrick Show' how Vrabel handled the post-game atmosphere. "There are two parts to this," Reiss explained.
"First, they acknowledged the defeat. Vrabel excelled in keeping the team's spirits up, focusing on the bigger picture."
Vrabel emphasized the significance of the 307th day of their program, reminding players of the unexpected success they achieved in his first year as head coach. Despite not clinching the Lombardi Trophy, Vrabel's leadership earned him the NFL Coach of the Year award.
