Super Bowl 57 on Feb. 12 will be the fourth time the NFL championship game has been held in Arizona. Two are among the greatest in the game's history.
The Patriots-Seahawks Super Bowl battle between the conferences' No. 1 seeds will always be remembered for what's widely lauded as the greatest interception in the game's history — and arguably the worst play call ever in the same sequence.
There were countless storylines going into the game, such as Seattle's third-year star quarterback Russell Wilson matched up against defensive genius Belichick; seasoned 15-year veteran Brady vs. Seattle's vaunted"Legion of Boom" defense; and could the Patriots stop the league's fourth-best rusher that season, Marshawn Lynch.
In spite of all that, the the scoring margin remained within one possession through the first half, which ended 14-14. Seattle took a 10-point lead in the third quarter, then Brady threw for a pair of scores in the fourth, including a go-ahead, 3-yarder to Julian Edelman right before the 2-minute warning.
As an estimated 120.8 million viewers watched the late comeback bid, most believed the obvious call was for Lynch to bulldoze a walk-off touchdown. But the play called was a pass, and Wilson threw a short pass intended for Ricardo Lockette. Butler, who was supposed to be screened off the play by Kearse, read the play perfectly, stepped in front of the Seahawks' receiver and made the interception that spelled doom for Seattle.
