Kam Chancellor: I'll 'Never Understand' Seahawks' Super Bowl Goal-Line Sequence

Seven years after the lost Super Bowl XLIX to the New England Patriots in heartbreaking fashion, former Seahawks safety still struggles with the decision that ultimately cost Seattle the win.

In an article for the Players' Tribune, Chancellor wrote about his feelings regarding the coaching decision to have quarterback Russell Wilson throw at the goal line in the waning seconds of that Super Bowl rather than running with Marshawn Lynch, who had rushed for over 100 yards and a touchdown in the game.

That decision yielded one of the most infamous plays in Super Bowl history, as Wilson was intercepted by Malcolm Butler, thus sealing a 28-24 win for the Pats and denying the Seahawks their second consecutive Super Bowl victory.
