10 biggest plays from Super Bowl 49
By Andrew Ross
10.) Bobby Wagner intercepts Tom Brady
Brady was intercepted in the first quarter and the Seahawks couldn’t capitalize on the turnover, but Seattle wouldn’t make the same mistake the second time around.
The Seahawks were starting to get momentum and were up for the first time in the game (17-14), and then Brady turned the ball over on the very next possession for New England.
Brady’s first pick was really just a bad decision on his part, but the credit for this interception all goes to Wagner who simply made a phenomenal play on the ball.
Seattle gets into the end zone again just six plays later to give themselves a 10-point lead with five minutes remaining in the third quarter.
9.) Brady and the Patriots get the first score of the game
The first quarter was scoreless with Seattle having very little offensive success and New England not being able to finish, but things got going in the second quarter.
After another short drive from the Seahawks, Brady led New England down the field in nine plays that ended with a 11-yard touchdown to Brandon LaFell that put the Patriots up 7-0.
It was a big drive just because the previous one for New England ended in a bad end zone interception from Brady, and it was important for the Patriots to quickly rebound from that mistake.
