Super Bowl XLIX between the Patriots and defending champion Seahawks on February 1, 2015 seemed to be the rare, evenly-matched Super Bowl, and what transpired on the field proved why. In the first half, Tom Brady threw two touchdown passes, Russell Wilson tossed one, and Seattle running back Marshawn Lynch rushed for a score and the game was tied, 14-14, at halftime. The Seahawks scored 10 unanswered points in the third quarter, and midway through the fourth they were in the driver’s seat, 24-14. But Brady showed his usual fourth-quarter greatness, leading the Patriots on drives of 68 and 64 yards, each concluding with a touchdown pass to make it 28-24, New England. Then it was Wilson’s turn: with about two minutes left, from the Seattle 20, in a blink he led his offense downfield, completing passes of 31, 11, and 33 yards to take the Seahawks to the Patriots 1. But on second-and-goal, with 26 seconds left, Wilson threw a pass to receiver Ricardo Lockette that was intercepted at the goal line by Patriots rookie Malcolm Butler. Many Seattle fans still believe head coach Pete Carroll should have called a running play for Lynch, the Seahawks' star RB. The interception crushed Seattle’s hopes of a second straight title and clinched the Patriots’ fourth Super Bowl championship.
