THE STORY
In Super Bowl XLIX on February 1, 2015, the Seattle Seahawks faced the New England Patriots in Glendale, Arizona. Trailing 28-24 with 26 seconds remaining, Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson attempted a pass to wide receiver Ricardo Lockette from the Patriots' 1-yard line. The pass was intercepted by New England's Malcolm Butler, securing the Patriots' victory.

WHY IT MATTERS
This pivotal play is widely debated due to the Seahawks' decision to pass instead of running with Marshawn Lynch, their powerful running back, in a goal-line situation.
