The New NFL SuperBowl CHAMPIONS XLIX

It’s time to check in on Super Bowl XLIX between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots.In a game that ended with the then defending champion Seahawks on the wrong end of the scoreboard, New England—led by Tom Brady(The all-time leader in touchdown passes in Super Bowl history)—earned the franchise’s fourth Lombardi Trophy in dramatic fashion.

Highlights

• Worst Play in History On second-and-goal from the one-yard line and with Marshawn Lynch in the backfield prepared to lead Seattle to a second consecutive Super Bowl title, Pete Carroll and company may have made the worst play call in the history of the big game.
  Instead of handing it off to Lynch, who had tallied 133 total yards in the game, Seattle decided to throw a slant to reserve wide receiver Ricardo Lockette. By now you already know how that turned out, but the call itself has to be considered the worst in the history of the big game.
•  Seattle Lost It With his team pretty much on the verge of losing the Super Bowl following  a last-second interception by Russell Wilson, Irvin decided to take his frustration out on members of the Patriots. In short, it just wasn’t a good look. Irvin did indicate after the game that he was protecting a teammate—namely Michael Bennett—after punches were thrown. Irvin was the only one ejected from the game,there will also be some thought given to the idea that Seattle can’t lose with class..
• Game Absolute Obviously, the culmination of one of the greatest Super Bowls in modern history—an interception of Russell Wilson in the end zone

Serious Injuries Both Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas were playing with somewhat serious injuries in the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, Kam Chancellor suffered some sort of knee injury on Friday and had a noticeable limp prior to the game. Magnifying these injury issues even further, Jeremy Lane went down with a serious arm injury in the first quarter and didn’t return to the game. This left a struggling Tharold Simon as the team’s third cornerback behind Richard Sherman and Byron Maxwell. That would lead to some major mismatches in the Patriots’ favor as the game progressed.
