In this episode of The Red Light Sports Ramble, presented by The Red Light Sports Network, Evan Witalison and Troy Otradovec will take a look at Super Bowl XLIX, between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks.  The Patriots claimed their fourth Super Bowl title, in 14 years.  On second and one, at the Patriot one yard line, it was a perfect set up, for Beast Mode.  26 seconds remained, and with one timeout, no one saw this play coming.  Instead of running, Russell Wilson threw to Ricardo Lockette, on a quick slant.  Normally, a safe play, Malcom Butler jumped the route and intercepted the poorly thrown ball.  So the debate over the Pete Carroll call began.  There was a pretty good game for 59:34, that saw lead and momentum changes.

Although, the score was knotted at zero, after one quarter.  The New England Patriots were dinking and dunking, while moving the ball.  As they have done all year, the Seahawks pressured Tom Brady, and he threw an interception.  Jeremy Lane, who intercepted Brady, injured his wrist, on the play.  

With 1:14 to go, Wilson went deep to Jermaine Kearse.  Malcom Butler played the ball and seemed to have broken up the play.  However, with Kearse on the ground, the ball fell to his hand and he made the reception. The announcers thought that Bill Belichick should start to use his timeouts, in order to save time, for Brady.  Could this have been the unsung non-call, that was genius? Had Belichick taken a timeout, Wilson and Carroll could have conversed.  Maybe the play call is Lynch, straight up the gut, or off tackle. No timeout called, and we all know what Malcom Butler did.
