That’s the play, America. That’s how Bill Belichick and Tom Brady—your favorite rule-bending duo—became cemented in history as one of the best coach-quarterback tandems of all time.
Unfortunately, while Pete Carroll’s now-infamous blunder caused much euphoria in New England, it apparently caused so much angst in Washington that someone died from it. The obituary of one Michael Vedvik from the Spokesman-Review:
Sorry to make you feel worse about your bad play-calling, Pete, but one handoff to Marshawn Lynch was the deal-breaker for this Seahawks fanatic. HOW COULD YOU!?

No. Mr. Vedvik didn’t really die from someone else’s poor decision making.
Michael’s wife, Stephanie, told the paper he would have found the line “hysterical”:
“My husband would have thought it was hysterical,” she says. “If I had read this obituary to my husband about somebody else, he would have had a laugh.”
