Question: who played in the superbowl in new york

title: Super Bowl XLVIII
text: On Denver 's first play after receiving the opening kickoff , center Manny Ramirez snapped the ball while quarterback Peyton Manning was shifting forward ( from shotgun formation ) in the process of calling an audible , resulting in the ball going past Manning into the end zone . Running back Knowshon Moreno recovered the ball to prevent a Seahawks touchdown , but he was downed for a safety to give the Seahawks a 2 -- 0 lead . Seattle 's score just 12 seconds into the game was the quickest to start a game in Super Bowl history , surpassing the kickoff return by Devin Hester to start Super Bowl XLI seven years earlier ( which coincidentally featured Peyton Manning , at the time the Colts ' quarterback ) . Following the free kick , receiver Percy Harvin gained 30 yards on an end around run to set up Steven Hauschka 's 31 - yard field goal , making the score 5 -- 0 . Denver was forced to a three - and - out on their next drive , and after the Denver punt , Russell Wilson completed a 37 - yard pass to Doug Baldwin , leading to another Hauschka field goal , this one from 33 yards , that increased the lead to 8 -- 0 . On the third play of Denver 's ensuing possession , Manning was intercepted by Kam Chancellor , giving Seattle a first down on the Denver 37 .
