Tom Brady helped the New England Patriots earn the lead in the fourth quarter, but it wasn't safe as Russell Wilson got one last drive to try and win the game for the Seattle Seahawks.Wilson marched the Seahawks all the way down to the Patriots' one-yard line, setting up a potential game-winning touchdown. However, rather than running the ball with Marshawn Lynch, one of the most dominant running backs in the NFL at the time, Russell Wilson threw a pass into the endzone.This ended up being the wrong decision as his pass was intercepted by Malcolm Butler, clinching the game for the Patriots. The decision to throw it rather than run it has been highly criticized and it sounds like Richard Sherman blames Wilson for the play call.While Sherman ranted to &quot;run the ball&quot; following the Broncos' loss to the Colts in Week 5, it certainly may have opened some old wounds. He basically believes it cost him another ring with the Seahawks and where his bitterness towards Wilson likely stems from.
