I guess no one took the time to read my novel, but if that play had to be a pass why would it not be a read option or play action bootleg? You have Wilson who is an absolute beast at doing this.
You roll him out and if he can't find away to the endzone on his own, he either throws it to a receiver (if open) or throws it away and you live to see another down. Period. That's the only option if you're hellbent on not letting BeastMode get the ball on that play. Or if you had to run this dumb quick slant, at least throw it low. Wilson should've audibled and done his own thing.
That was one of the best Super Bowls ever, but it would've been the very best had it made it to 4th down.
It's a shame that Kearse's catch is just an afterthought, but you know... he should've caught that routine pass earlier when the Seahawks had a 10 point lead. It would've been game over right then and there.
