Goal-line stand goes Seahawks’ way against Patriots

When it got down to it, when you get a chance to win a game on the 1-yard line, there ain’t nothing like it in football, said head coach Pete Carroll, whose Seahawks worked on defending that exact play at the end of Friday’s practice.

Doug Baldwin caught three touchdown passes from Russell Wilson, including a 15-yarder for the final margin.

Strangely, Seattle went for two points and failed on the conversion, leaving the Patriots a chance to tie with a touchdown and an extra-point kick.

LeGarrette Blount, who earlier rushed for three touchdowns and has 12 this season, couldn’t get into the end zone from close range, nor could Brady on two sneaks.
