Sam Darnold

So you got the Seahawks going to the Super Bowl where they will indeed meet the Patriots.

This is arguably one of the biggest plays or non-plays or whatever you want to call it in the game in Denver.

Play clock down to five.

Stidham in the shotgun.

Play clock is at one.

Stidham waiting.

Gets the snap.

Blitz coming.

Stidham backpedaling in trouble inside the 20 pumps.

Lost the football.

It's rolling on the far side.

Picked up by the Patriots and running into the end zone.

There is no signal yet.

Now a flag has gone down, so it looks like they're going to say it was a forward pass and intentional grounding.

Well, that's what they said.

You got the challenge flag then from the sideline, and then the officials did change the call.

Is there any chance the ball was already coming loose before he did that?

before Ellis knocked it out of his hand.

He, like, went to throw it and pulled it back.

After discussion on the field, it was a backward pass by the quarterback, picked up by New England, and it will be first down for the Patriots at the spot of recovery.
