It actually made sense.
They had one timeout left so if the run got stopped, they're forced into passing situations on the next two plays.
If the pass, is incomplete, they still have two downs and a timeout so they can call anything.
Likewise, the Pats were in a goal line defense so the Seahawks had the matchups they liked.
I still think it was dumb but the reasoning made it at at least sound a bit better. Lol
Lynch not being able to get a yard....highly doubtful.
Still, that route looled wide open. The CB made an outstanding play.
