Because the Seattle QB Wilson blew the play call and called the wrong thing. As a result there were only a couple Hawks there after Wilson reversed field to get away from pressure.
Quote:
Wilson's play-call in the huddle on the fourth-and-10 was supposed to send three Seahawks receivers to the left corner of the end zone (where he ultimately threw the ball). But instead, he called a “Waggle” play in which he rolls right and multiple receivers run short, underneath routes.
Writes Silver: “Some Seahawks ran the play Wilson called, while others ran the one he was supposed to have called. Whatever -- after he rolled right, drifted back to his left and planted at the 39-yard line before unleashing his high pass to the end zone, it all worked out in the end.”
