As everyone most likely knows by now, the Patriots won the super bowl on Sunday night. Sure the Patriots are a good team and everything but why exactly did the Patriots win the game? I will tell you why.. The Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson threw a 30 yard pass to Jermaine Kearse who made an amazing tip catch on a ball that was deflected why the Patriots defensive back, The catch put the Seahawks is scoring position and after a 3 yard run by Marshawn Lynch, the Seahawks were on the one yard line with 2 timeouts left and 30 seconds on the clock. Myself along with everyone else in America knew that the Seahawks were about to score because they have arguably the best most physical running back in the NFL in Marshawn Lynch and they were on the 1 yard line, it seemed like it was going to be an easy score and the Seahawks would take the lead and run the clock down because they still had 2 timeouts left. Well for some godforsaken reason the Seahawks head coach, Pete Carol decided to throw the ball on the 1 yard line instead of give the ball to "Beast Mode" Marshawn Lynch. And what happened? The patriots intercepted a 1 yard pass and won the game when the Seahawks could have simply given the ball to the best running back in the NFL. Why did they do this? This is a question that myself and millions of other people are asking right now. I have played football since I was 6 years old and even a 6 year old rocket football player could have told you to run the ball when you are on the 1 yard line. Ridiculous. Personally I did not really care about who won because I am a die-hard Lions fan, but it just completely blows my mind that in the super bowl game the Seahawks chose to throw the ball on the 1 yard line instead of give it to the best running back in the NFL to win the game. Poor coaching in my opinion.
