The Patriots stole a Super Bowl victory as Russell Wilson with a minute and change left on the clock through an interception at the goal line on first down. The obvious question looms large, why not run the ball? Still amazing. Players were very professional on social media following such a heartbreaking loss.
Doug Baldwin tweeted the obvious…
I’m truly thankful to play this game. Thankful for my teammates and the resilience we showed together. Truly blessed. Just a tough loss.

Russell Okung thanked his supporters and god.
God’s grace isn’t circumstantial. Praise God for such an awesome year with my brothers. Thank you to all those that have supported us.

Dez Bryant still thought the play could of worked.
I think the slant would have worked if that was cris Matthews running the slant…. Fade would have been played…

The Patriots are the Super Bowl Champions and I think everyone is still a little confused…
