February 1, 2015. The Seahawks trailed by four. Second-and-goal from the Patriots' 1-yard line, 26 seconds left, one timeout. Marshawn Lynch in the backfield. Pete Carroll called a pass. Malcolm Butler jumped the route. By morning it was the worst play call in Super Bowl history. There was a reason behind it. An incomplete pass on second down stops the clock. That gave Seattle three cracks at the end zone instead of two. Super Bowl LII, fourth-and-goal from the 1, Doug Pederson skipped the field goal and called a trick play. Nick Foles caught a touchdown. Pederson was called a genius. Two aggressive calls at the goal line. One ball got caught, one got picked, and the labels followed the ball.
