I take solace from the fact that the Patriots relied on injuries to Jeremy Lane and Cliff Avril to drop the Seahawks down to their level (at full health) and eek this one out.
Credit to the Patriots for their tackling skills and the New England "squirt" from their backs to get that extra couple of yards when they are tackled.
If the Seahawks played the Patriots 10 times, level field, full health for both teams, the 'Hawks win 6-7 of those contests. They just got lucky this time.

LOL!
The Pats outplayed them. It was only by a miracle catch that the Seahawks were even in that position.
