Air carrier Captain reported an engine failure during climb. The pilots turned back to the departure airport.

Narrative

Climbing through about 22;000ft; we heard a load thud accompanied by a sudden yaw. I was PF (Pilot Flying). The autopilot was on. The autopilot remained engaged. I shallowed the climb. We analyzed the situation and determined that the # 2 Engine had seized. I instructed the FO (First Officer) to [request priority handling] with ATC and ask for a turn back to ZZZ. We completed the Engine Failure Severe Damage QRC and then I transferred control to the FO; while I completed the checklists. I advised the Flight Attendants and asked if they saw or smelled anything unusual. They were aware that the engine had failed and described a large fireball that erupted briefly from the engine. I sent a diversion ACARS message to Dispatch with the note; Engine failure" in the comments section. I also called ZZZ Ops and ensured they knew we were returning; and that Dispatch was aware. I updated the performance data and sent for landing data for Runway XX. I only sent for flaps 30 numbers as I was getting task loaded at this point and ATC had just turned us onto a final approach. I knew the runway was one of the longest; so I wasn't really concerned with having the exact stopping margin. Had I sent for the Flaps 15 Engine Failure numbers; I would have also received the prompt for brake cooling numbers. With the distraction of coordinating with ATC and ARFF (Airport Rescue and Firefighting); we did not check those after landing. I took control at about 1;000ft agl. We were a little fast and I used the speedbrake at flaps 15 to slow us down. We were also slightly low on the PAPI; but I was able to easily correct; and we landed uneventfully in the Touchdown Zone. I stopped the aircraft in the runway and instructed the ARFF Crew to inspect the entire aircraft. After receiving the "All Clear;" we taxied to the gate."
