In a play that gave Patriots fans traumatizing flashbacks of David Tyree's Super Bowl catch, Seahawks receiver Jermaine Kearse caught a deep pass while on the ground and juggling the ball with his feet. The play put the Seahawks in scoring position with under a minute to play:

That penalty moved the Patriots up five yards, where they took a knee on the last play of the game. Then a brawl ensued on the field between both teams, and Seahawks defensive end Bruce Irvin was ejected for instigating the fight.
