In
a Super Bowl where the line was even for the first time in recent history, the
game certainly matched the hype. A game, in which the Seattle Seahawks and New
England Patriots delivered blow after blow upon each other, saw the Patriots
emerging victorious in a 28-24 thriller. While the game was neck and neck all
night long, the game will be remembered for its controversial ending. With 25
seconds left on the clock and inside the one yard line, Russell Wilson received
the snap and threw a bullet to wide receiver Ricardo Lockette, but was picked
off by cornerback Malcolm Butler. People across the nation stared in disbelief
at the play call, merely 50 seconds after Seahawks wide receiver Jermaine
Kearse made a miraculous juggling catch falling to the ground in double
coverage. The thought of not running the ball when you have arguably the best
running back in the NFL, Marshawn Lynch, has baffled many. But in the end Pats
fans rejoiced, Seattle fans wept, and New England was crowned Super Bowl XLIX
champions.
