With 27 seconds left in Super Bowl XLIX and down by four points to the New England Patriots, the Seattle Seahawks had the ball on the New England one-yard line. With a timeout to use and powerful running back Marshawn Lynch, most analysts and fans thought a run was coming. Instead, Russell Wilson dropped back and attempted a pass, which was intercepted by Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler, sealing the victory for the Patriots.
