The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots faced off in Super Bowl XLIX. The game was played on Feb. 1, 2015 at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ. The Seahawks were looking to repeat after they beat Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII. 

The Seahawks held a 24-14 lead in the fourth quarter, but were forced to punt to the Patriots on a failed third down. Tom Brady would lead the Patriots all the way back to take the lead when he found Julian Edleman to give the Pats a 28-24 lead with 2:02 left.

After one of the craziest catches ever seen by Seahawks wide receiver Jermaine Kearse in which a tipped ball fell into his chest and he grabbed it, the Seahawks were in business. On a 2nd and goal from the one yard line, however, Russell Wilson threw a pass at the goal line that was intercepted by Malcolm Butler. The Patriots held on to win by a final score of 28-24. It was their fourth Super Bowl in franchise history.
