After the game, Seattle head coach Pete Carroll defended the play call.
“We had been making two and three yards on that all day long,” Carroll told reporters. “That was a play we had been making all throughout the day, and it worked well. I don't know how they got the penetration, but they did and we weren't able to knock it in.”
On Thursday, Delisa Lynch added to her comments on social media.
