SAN JOSE, CA − Should the Seattle Seahawks have simply run the ball?
It's a question that's been posed countless times over the past decade-plus but has returned to the forefront with a vengeance this week as Seattle prepares to play the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 60 − 11 years after the Seahawks' stunning, controversial, pall-casting 28-24 loss to the Pats in their last Super Sunday appearance.
"I know that's a sore subject for a lot of people but, uh ... we'll say pass?" current Seahawks QB Sam Darnold smiled when asked the question during Super Bowl Opening Night on Feb. 2. (Wrong answer, Sam.)
Said Seattle receiver Cooper Kupp: "I would say probably hand the ball off." (Bingo.)
Head coach Mike Macdonald had had about enough after fielding the same query from multiple media members Monday.
