Great link -- thank you.

If I were to summarize the ending, the Seahawks simply outstrategized themselves by trying to keep as many options open while running off as much time as possible instead of simply letting Beast Mode get you in the end zone and leaving it up to your defence to preserve the win. Unfortunately for Seattle, the mistake came at the most crucial moment in the biggest game of the year.
