5 plays that decided Super Bowl XLIX

Well football is over and the last game will go down as a classic. The New England Patriots are the Super Bowl champions as they knocked off the Seattle Seahawks 28-24 in Arizona. I think the Patriots should send Pete Carroll and Darrell Bevell flowers and candy for the late Christmas present at the end of the game.

I’m going to highlight 5 plays that decided the Super Bowl XLIX.

5. Jeremy Lane’s first quarter interception of Tom Brady- The play kept the score 0-0, but during the return Lane injured his arm and wasn’t able to return. Causing Tharold Simon to get all of the nickle corner snaps and was picked on like the dirty kid in elementary.

4. Patriots defense holds the Seahawks to a field goal early in the 3rd quarter- The stand the Patriots made kept the game within striking distance as the Seahawks only went up 17-14 when they had a shot to go up 21-14. This was huge as they ended up winning by 4 points.

3. Jermaine Kearse makes Antonio Freeman-like catch- Russell Wilson hooked up with Jermaine Kearse for a 33 yard pass that was more luck than skill, but it put the Seahawks inside the 10 yard line with 1:06 to go in the game.

2. Malcolm Butler fourth quarter inception of Russell Wilson- Great play by Butler as he cut off Ricardo Lockette on a slant, but Carroll and Bevell know they should’ve ran Beast Mode from the 1 yard line. You run Beast Mode four times in a row in that situation. DUMBEST PLAY CALL IN FOOTBALL HISTORY!!

1. Michael Bennett jumping offsides with 20 seconds left and New England on their own 1- Honestly the game was probably over, but the Patriots might’ve had to take the safety. With that being said the Seahawks had a slight chance to get the ball back and they blew that by jumping offsides.

I know Seahawk fans will be sick all off-season and rightfully so. What were Carroll and Bevell thinking? Why didn’t Wilson call an audible? lol Will Tom Brady send a thank you card to Wilson? Hmm, I don’t know, but I would if I was Tom.
