His Seahawks teams reached back-to-back Super Bowls (XLVIII and XLIX), winning the first 43–8 over the Denver Broncos in February 2014. He retired in 2016, briefly returned with the Oakland Raiders in 2017 and 2018, and made a final return to Seattle in 2019. He remained one of the most recognizable NFL figures through his media avoidance press conferences, Skittles associations, and Beast Mode brand.
