Pete Carroll talks 'catastrophic' Super Bowl interception with Richard Sherman: 'It turned all of that so dark'

Nine seasons later, Malcolm Butler's interception of Russell Wilson in Super Bowl XLIX still stings in Seattle.

It's a play that changed the course of two franchises, short-circuiting a potential dynasty while reigniting another in New England. Two of the central players on the losing side sat down recently to hash things out.

Pete Carroll joined Richard Sherman for an episode of Sherman's podcast that was released Tuesday. They discussed several topics, none more compelling than Carroll's decision to throw the ball instead of handing off to Marshawn Lynch on second-and-goal from the 1-yard line with the Super Bowl on the line.
