Pre-game story: Sam Darnold, throwing, full go and back to normal.
That and a plane constantly circling Levi’s Stadium pulling a Seahawks 12 flag over the festivities were the most noticeable sights of pregame to Super Bowl 60 on Sunday.
Joe Montana, who later tossed the coin to determine who began the game on offense and defense, plus his wife Jennifer got off a golf cart and walked into the stadium at its northwest corner about two hours before kickoff of Seattle’s NFL championship game against the New England Patriots.
It was a perfect February afternoon in the Bay Area, sunny and 65 degrees, with little wind.
Darnold came out for warmups with backup quarterback Drew Lock and emergency third QB Jalen Milroe about 80 minutes before kickoff. Darnold practiced fully Thursday and Friday at the Seahawks’ Super Bowl-week home at San Jose State University. Those were his first full practices since Jan. 15, the practice in which he injured his left, non-throwing oblique.
He then led Seattle to a 41-6 win over San Francisco in the divisional playoffs and a 31-27 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC championship Jan. 25, after barely throwing in practice that latter game week.
He threw more and was far more rested for this Super Bowl 14 days later, on Sunday.
“Feel really good,” Darnold said, repeatedly, this Super Bowl week.
Nick Emmanwori full go
Nick Emmanwori ran around pregame in full uniform, full go. He was in the middle of the Seahawks’ starting defense, as more a linebacker than his listed safety, as usual.
The do-it-all rookie and key to coach Mike Macdonald’s Super Bowl game plan appeared not affected, at all. It was as if he didn’t turn his ankle in practice Wednesday at San Jose State University, after all.
“Turns out,” coach Mike Macdonald joked to the league’s pool reporter following practice Friday, “he’s alive.”
Jarran Reed’s Super pep talk
As he does at the end of pregame workout before games, veteran defensive tackle Jarran Reed gathered all his Seahawks teammates around him in the middle of the field.
Standing between the Super Bowl LX logo with the Golden Gate Bridge and the end zone painted SEAHAWKS in navy blue, Reed gave the speech of his life. His head bobbed and he pointed and roared a fiery pep talk.
The team’s locker-room leader then adjourned his teammates, who ran off the field into their room for final preparations for kickoff.
The mass of Seahawks fans in the south end zone behind them roared.
Seahawks inactive players
No surprises in the list of inactive players the Seahawks submitted per league rule 90 minutes before kickoff.
Rookie fullback Robbie Ouzts was inactive. He was limited in practices all week, with the same injury that caused him to miss the NFC championship game.
Milroe was inactive, the emergency third quarterback again. Special-teams mainstay Chazz Surratt came off injured reserve to the active roster this past week. But he was inactive for the game Sunday.
Rookies Mason Richman and Jared Ivey were inactive. So was backup defensive tackle Brandon Pili.
