On second-and-goal, Seattle comes out in a shotgun, three-receiver look. The Patriots counter that look with a goal line defense, with eight big bodies up front and two corners. Brandon Browner plays tight man coverage, and Malcolm Butler is playing 6 yards off his man.
Seattle had the perfect call against this defense Kearse just fails to get off the jam.
This is one of the reasons the Seahags went out and got Jimmy Graham. They realized they needed a bigger body.
If they had Graham on this play he could have fought through Browner and ran the pick.
Its chess not checkers.
