Seattle Seahawks settle some scores after Super Bowl loss to the Patriots

The Seattle Seahawks engineered a stouthearted goal-line stand in the final seconds to beat New England 31-24 and gain a small measure of revenge for losing Super Bowl 49 to the Patriots.

New England (7-2) had a first-and-goal and failed on four tries. On the final attempt Tom Brady lobbed a pass in the direction of tight end Rob Gronkowski, who drove into Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor — the two hit the ground as the ball fell incomplete.

The stand came at the end of what would have been a 75-yard scoring drive in the final 4:24 in front of a crowd of 66,800 at Gillette Stadium.
