Butler jumped that quickly and Browner made a great jam at the LOS to interrupt its quick hitting rhythm.
Just like in 2012, I would have run the read option before throwing it. This one is a worse in my opinion
I called SEA to win this game but credit to Brady for actually throwing to ball 50 times and coming away with a win vs SEA. That is extremely hard to do. You give that ball to Lynch 3 times at the 1 yd line he falls in. Dude was falling forward after contact 2 and 3 yards or more at a time all night!
