Scores in Super Bowl
Nwosu returned an interception for a touchdown in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
ANALYSIS
Patriots QB Drake Maye's arm was hit as he was throwing, and Nwosu was able to snag the ball and return it 46 yards for a touchdown, sealing the Seahawks' victory in the fourth quarter. Nwosu had a strong pass-rushing effort despite not recording a sack, too. Through 18 games including the postseason, the veteran edge rusher stacked up 37 tackles (18 solo), 7.0 sacks and three pass breakups. The 30-year-old is heading into the final year of his contract, carrying a $20.0 million cap hit.

2021
Nwosu's breakout 2022 campaign in which he posted 9.5 sacks is a distant memory after he played exactly six games in each of the last two seasons, totaling 30 tackles and 3.0 sacks. The 28-year-old underwent offseason knee surgery, and while the details are unclear, he started training camp on the active/PUP list and may not be ready by Week 1. Nevertheless, during Nwosu's time away from the field, both Boye Mafe and Derick Hall broke out as impressive edge rushers, making Nwosu's path to a full-time role less likely in 2025.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Gets pick-six in Super Bowl LX win
Nwosu returned an interception for a touchdown as the Seahawks defeated the Patriots, 29-13, to win Super Bowl LX on Sunday, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Nwosu had the exclamation point on an outstanding performance by Seattle's defense, corralling one of Drake Maye's many errant passes and returning it 45 yards for a pick-six to give Seattle a 29-7 lead with 4:27 remaining. The 29-year-old linebacker had 7.0 sacks in the regular season, but he had only one interception in 107 career regular-season games prior to his key contribution in Super Bowl LX.
