On the potential game winning drive for the Seahawks it looked as if it was all over for New England. Seattle was down by 4 with only enough time for one last drive. On first and ten with 1:14 left in Super Bowl 49, Patriot's fans took a trip down memory lane. Russell Wilson threw a pass that was caught by wide receiver Jermaine Kearse and shocked the world. He bobbled it and it looked as if it was bound to be dropped. Undrafted rookie cornerback Malcolm Butler was the defender on this play. In the 2007 Super Bowl against the Giants all Patriot's fans are scarred by "The Helmet Catch" by David Tyree that basically lost New England the game. In 2011 a perhaps lucky catch by the Giants got the best of us again when Eli Manning threw a perfect ball to Mario Manningham, so was this going to happen again? Well the Kearse reception got the Seahawks to the New England 5 yard line. Next play Marshawn Lynch ran it down to the 1. The situation is second an one yard for the Lombardi Trophy. Next play, a pass is thrown to wideout Ricardo Lockette on a slant route. Butler, again undrafted rookie, steps in and picks the pass of and clinched New Englands fourth title. People say a pass by Pete Carrol was a bad play call. However I disagree. It seems like running one yard with the best power back in the league is a good idea, which it is. As any team knows scoring in the redzone takes some creativity. He had three downs to get a yard and running on all three is not a must. So passing on one down is not a bad idea. Maybe a fade route instead of a slant underneath could have been a bit better but it does not really matter. Anyway the end result is the same, Patriots win 28-24! That cannot be taken away from us.

My Thoughts on the Super Bowl
On Sunday February 1, 2015 the New England Patriots beat the Seattle Seahawks 28-24 in Super Bowl 49. It was the Patriots fourth Super Bowl victory dating back to 2001 when they upset the St. Louis Rams 20-17. The Patriots were down 10 in the fourth quarter. Getting the victory was the largest fourth quarter comeback in Super Bowl history. There was most likely a point in the game where all viewers thought it was over for Patriots. They had come out terrible in the second half which is strange because Bill Belichik is known for having amazing second half adjustments. The last drive of this game created a lot of buzz in the social media world as well as the football world. As I know it wouldn't be a Patriots victory without some controversy.
