I plan to go back and re-watch the game this week, but my impression was that the Patriots dominated through most of the game, although it was not reflected in the score. The Patriots were definitely the better team; the Seahawks fans should stop whining; they lost to the better team--justice was served. If not for interceptions and some long bombs by Wilson against poor coverage, it would have been a blowout.
It was a chess match out there, seesawing back and forth but BB eventually prevailed. The Patriots really controlled the first half, however the Seahawks made some adjustments at Halftime that took away the short passes. Momentum shifted to the Seahawks. However McDaniels figured it out on offense and the addition of Butler to the defensive backfield shut down the Seahawks passing game. By the end of the game the Patriots were dominating again. It was only the miracle catch that made it close.
