Read the rest of the rule (the part left out by the elipses:

e) when a runner is contacted by a defensive player and he touches the ground with any part of his body except his hands or feet, ball shall be declared dead immediately. The contact by the defense player must be the cause of the runner going down.

Good find on the rule, but you won't convince any of the whiners that the officials did noting to benefit the Seahawks in any way, even though they did. Poor sports, I'm glad the Seahawks got their butts kicked. Eleven point margin, game wasn't even close.
