The second-to-last play of the Seattle Seahawks’ regular season was a strange play call. Now we know why.
WIth 22 seconds left, after Seattle recovered an onside kick, all the Seahawks had to do to seal a 26-23 win was take a knee. Instead, the Seahawks ran a push pass to receiver David Moore on a jet sweep. Russell Wilson pushed it forward to Moore, who got credit for a catch. Announcers were flummoxed. Pete Carroll was shown on the sideline looking upset and confused before shaking his head and breaking into a smile. Seattle went to victory formation the next play.
Wilson went rogue. He changed the play from a kneeldown to an easy pass to get Moore one more catch for a $100,000 bonus.
Wilson wanted to help out his teammate. Moore needed 35 catches for a $100,000 bonus. Wilson admitted that he called second-to-last play of the game to get Moore over the hump.
“It’s a blessing to be able to help his family and his daughter and all of that stuff,” Wilson said after the game.
