Seattle Seahawks Lose Super Bowl On Purpose
New England Patriots 28, Seattle Seahawks 24. But look, there’s no way around this: the Seahawks had it in the bag. The Seahawks had it as good as they could have possibly had it, then made the worst decision in the history of the Super Bowl. Maybe the worst call in the history of football. They lost this on purpose. There’s no other explanation, because what just happened defies logic.

Down by four with under a minute to go, the Seahawks were so, so, soooooooo close to the endzone. Marshawn Lynch is on the Seahawks. But no, Russell Wilson didn’t give the ball to Lynch. Instead, he opted to throw.
What happened? An interception, of course, as the Patriots defense is good and Ricardo Lockette is not-so-good. A red zone interception sucks, but this was a red zone interception that directly led to the Seahawks losing the Super Bowl. The exact same Super Bowl that, at the start of the play, they were poised to win.
I have no words. You have no words. Nobody has any words, and nobody ever will. This will go down as the most second-guessed play ever, but not for nothing. It’ll be remembered as the worst decision in the history of the Super Bowl, and rightly so. The Seahawks won the Super Bowl, until they didn’t. And it’s really, really obvious why.
Be furious. If this was Darrell Bevell’s call, fire Darrell Bevell. If it was Pete Carroll’s call, never forget this was Pete Carroll’s call. And if this was Russell Wilson’s call, remember how far the Seahawks’ young QB has yet to go. With the Super Bowl on the line, the Seahawks did the unthinkable. For that, they deserve what they got.
