A 29:13 win for the Seattle Seahawks over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 60. And Seattle's defense, which was nicknamed the Dark side, was the difference, forcing three turnovers, including returning an interception for a touchdown late to seal it.

Not a lot of activity at Nancy Guthrie's house in Tucson. Investigators back on the property looking at some sort of drain outlet. They were putting some long device down into the drain. We don't know obviously whether they were looking for a particular item or whether they were taking samples.
