People seem to forget that there are a lot of variables in football. A lot of things could have gone differently. The Seahawks could've run the ball and gotten stuffed or fumbled before scoring. It happens. They couldn've completed the pass. Butler could have just knocked the ball down.

Just as Lynch being stuffed for no gain on third and one inside the 10 yard lineforced the Seahawks to go for a field goal. The bottom line is the line on the scoreboard: The number one Seahawks defense couldn't stop Brady from throwing four touchdown passes and accumulating over 300 yards passing (considerably more than the 185 yards per game passing the Seahawks allowed for the season). They couldn't stop Brady from completing 74 percent of his passes -- more than Brady's season average of 64 percent. Th
