Who was the MVP for the Super Bowl game played in February 2014?

Malcolm Smith was the MVP of the Super Bowl played in February 2014, officially Super Bowl XLVIII. The Seattle Seahawks linebacker received the award after his team defeated the Denver Broncos 43–8 on 2 February 2014.

Smith produced one of the game's defining defensive plays by intercepting Peyton Manning in the second quarter and returning the pass 69 yards for a touchdown. He also recovered a fumble in the third quarter and finished with 10 combined tackles. His performance helped Seattle's defense overwhelm Denver's record-setting offense.

The award was notable because Smith was a defensive player in a game dominated by Seattle's defense and special teams. He became the first defensive player to win Super Bowl MVP since Dexter Jackson of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl XXXVII, played in 2003.

The game itself was the first Super Bowl held in the New York metropolitan area and was played at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Seattle's victory delivered the franchise's first Super Bowl championship.
