The 2015 NFL season was nothing short of iconic. The Seattle Seahawks were coming off a Super Bowl win against the Denver Broncos and projected to be a powerhouse once again. The New England Patriots had unfortunately fallen short against the Broncos in the AFC Championship year. Despite their unwanted outcome the following year, the Patriots entered the 2014-2015 season hungry. They entered the playoffs 12-3 at the top of their division, just 3 wins off history. In the NFC, the Seahawks also pushed their way to first and were driven by one of the most feared defenses in all of football history. The Seahawks defense, or “The Legion of Boom,” was a vicious force led by Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, and Kam Chancellor. They were first in points allowed and second in passing yards allowed. If any team wanted a shot against them, their offense would need a miracle. Weeks would pass, and Super Bowl XLIX was just around the corner. The anticipation for the game was felt across the entire country: the best defense vs. the best offense, a battle of two titans. The first quarter ended scoreless; the second quarter marked the first strike, an 11-yard pass to Brandon LaFell. It was followed by a Marshawn Lynch rushing touchdown, a passing TD to Gronkowski, and another passing TD to Chris Matthews. The second half started in a 14-14 tie, and by this time, it had turned into an all-out war. HIt after hit, catch after catch, every player on the field was playing harder than they ever have before. The Seahawks would go up 24-14 in the third quarter after a field goal and crucial touchdown from Doug Baldwin. It would go unanswered by the patriots until the fourth quarter in one of the most famous endings in all of sports history. Danny Amendola would catch a 3-yard touchdown pass with just below eight minutes left to play. The moment began to shift. The Seahawks’ following drive would end in just four plays, giving the ball back to a dangerous Tom Brady. Down 3, with just over two minutes left, Brady connected with Julian Edelman on a 3-yard pass to put the Patriots up 28-24. However, the Seahawks were not going down without a fight. Jermaine Kearse, Seahawks wide receiver, would make one of the most spectacular catches in all of Super Bowl history. It put the Seahawks on the 5-yard line, with a minute left to play. After a run from Marshawn Lynch, the best running back in the league, they were at the one. All they had to do was run the ball into the end zone, and the fight was over. With the best running back in the league, everyone thought the game was sealed, 1 yard to victory. People say that good things come from bad situations; in this case, the greatest play came from the worst call. At 23 seconds, the ball left Russell Wilson’s hands; at 20 seconds, Patriots corner Malcolm Butler came down with it in his hands. The stadium erupted, reporters screamed, and players and fans held their heads with disbelief. With one yard to a Super Bowl win, they opted not to give the ball to the world’s best running back but to throw it. The Butler interception is still, 11 years later, the greatest ending in Super Bowl history.
