Seahawks went for maximizing opportunities on 3rd/4th down if they failed on 2nd and the genius of Belichick might have had a hand in it. He didn't call a TO to save some time for Brady. So that meant the Seahawks would have to use their final TO if they used a running play. They went with a pass instead.
Belichick is a master at situational football so I wouldn't be surprised if this is what really happened.
