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
