No one wants to think too much about XLIX, obviously, but I enjoyed writing this article about pass rush technique and hand violence. The examples are old, but the concepts are still important. This was originally published on Feb 9th, 2015. Hope you enjoy.

In an alternate dimension, where Patriots defensive back Malcolm Butler hesitates even a half-second before breaking on Russell Wilson's pass to Ricardo Lockette at the goal line, Seattle scores the game-winning touchdown and Seahawks defensive lineman Michael Bennett is probably Super Bowl XLIX MVP.
That didn't happen, of course.
