Super Bowl XLIX flashback: How clock management doomed the Seahawks vs. Patriots

Today (February 1st) marks two years since Super Bowl XLIX between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots. I know what you’re thinking, and no, going into great detail about that play will not be discussed. It’s been discussed to death, so you’re at least spared that. I do, however, want to focus on the sequence of events leading up to that play, which I find to be an oft-overlooked aspect of how one of the craziest Super Bowls of all-time ended. I’m of the opinion that the Seahawks mismanaged the decisive drive even before that play, and almost as a means of self-therapy, I might as well just air out my grievances now.
