The New England Patriots beat the Seattle Seahawks 28-24 to win Super Bowl XLIX. Something so big happened that it even got people to stop talking about #DeflateGate. Everybody turned their attentions to the game-winning interception by Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler. The huge shock was that the Seahawks decided to pass the ball on the one-yard line rather than handing it to Marshawn Lynch so he could run it in. In fact almost everybody agrees that Lynch should’ve gotten the ball. Since he didn’t, several conspiracy theories have formed such as coach Pete Carroll wanting quarterback Russell Wilson to be the hero instead of Lynch. I don’t know if that’s true or not and even though Lynch gave a political correct answer about the play call, he too knew he should’ve gotten the ball and these pictures that popped show it.
I can’t say for certain at what point these photos were taken which is why I posed the headline as a question, but it appears Lynch walks back to the bench smiling at Pete Carroll after the crucial interception by Butler.
If Marshawn Lynch smile at Pete Carroll I don’t blame him at all. That play definitely should’ve been made for him.
