What the other 30 NFL teams would have done on 2nd-and-1


Seattle screwed it up, but would the rest of the league have really done any better?


It'll be some time before we stop questioning Seattle's decision to throw the ball one yard away from the go-ahead touchdown, but what would your team had done in the same position against the Patriots? We asked* the staffs of all 30 other NFL teams what play they'd have called.


Arizona - Andre Ellington off-tackle

Atlanta - Steven Jackson stopped for two yard loss

Baltimore - Justin Forsett dive

Buffalo - Kyle Orton sneak/dry heave

Carolina - Cam Newton bootleg

Chicago - Interception that is somehow even more baffling than what Seattle did

Cincinnati - Delay of game

Cleveland - Brian Hoyer pass incomplete, but "the gutsy kind of incomplete"

Dallas - Run off tackle with DeMarco Murray, pray there isn't a replay angle where you can see the ball coming loose before it crosses the goal line

Denver - John Fox looks at scoreboard pensively until a frustrated Peyton Manning calls timeout

Detroit - Matt Stafford leaps over line, crowd agrees it's the least athletic thing they've ever seen

Green Bay - John Kuhn.

Houston - Arian Foster dive, during which whoeever's quarterback breaks all of his fingers

Indianapolis - Andrew Luck pretends headset doesn't work when coaches call in play for Trent Richardson

Jacksonville - Toby Gerhart up the middle

Kansas City - Wait, what? Who has the ball now? Punt? Should we punt? Aw, hell. I got distracted.

Miami - Ryan Tannehill sneak

Minnesota - Toss to Matt Asiata stopped for loss

New Orleans - Quick out to Jimmy Graham

New York Jets - Handoff to Chris Ivory bobbled, somehow accidentally kicked out of the back of the end zone

New York Giants - Run up the middle with Andre Williams

Oakland - Sack

Philadelphia - Jet sweep with Jeremy Maclin

Pittsburgh - Le'Veon Bell up the middle

San Diego - Philip Rivers sneak, spontaneously combusts after he scores

San Francisco - Colin Kaepernick scrambles after play action

St. Louis - Tavon Austin dive

Tampa - Missed field goal

Tennessee - Kneel down

Washington - False start


*no we didn't
