With 4:32 left in the fourth quarter, the prime time game between the Seattle Seahawks and the visiting New England Patriots appeared to be decided in the home team’s favor: the Seahawks had just used half of the remaining time on the clock and scored their fifth touchdown of the day to take a 35-23 lead. The Patriots, however, were not yet done and fought back by playing impressive complementary football.
First, the team marched 75 yards in just over two minutes to come within five points of their opponent. Then, the defense forced a quick three-and-out to give the offense another shot with 1:42 still available to work with.
