Fittingly, the final game of the 2019 NFL regular season came down to instant replay and a matter of inches on a goal-line stand by San Francisco that included a costly delay-of-game penalty on Seattle that marred Marshawn Lynch's return, and featured no whistle on what the Seahawks argued was defensive pass interference against the 49ers.
Whew!
Both teams were celebrating victory and the NFC West title after Seattle's 10th snap from inside the 12-yard line in the final minute of the final regular-season game of the league's 100th season.
The Seahawks thought tight end Jacob Hollister inched the football across the goal line on his catch of Russell Wilson's fourth-and-goal pass, giving them a 27-26 lead.
