I'm a Seahawks fan, and I have a visceral hatred of GB, but this was a dirty win.

I don't see how the refs can spin this.

Betcha the strike is over before the week is out.

If you look closely at the replay, the receiver seems to get both hands on the ball at the same time as the defender (left hand is somewhat hidden). The receiver’s right hand comes off but goes right back on as the players fall, and both players keep both hands on the ball after that. The ESPN drama queens read the rule, and the word “chest” is not in the language.

The ref may have made the right call. The call being that simultaneous possession happened when the ball reached the players, and continued long enough to call it as such.

I wouldnt go so far as calling it a dirty game. The Seahawks played a great game. Their defense was spectacular. GBs second touchdown had 2 very questionable calls that gave them 7 points. The play in the endzone at the end, I've seen a couple other stills that have me thinking it was a better call than I did at first. Here's a pic with Tate's both feet on the ground and both hands on the ball. ie. Seattle has every right to be called the winners as GB. I am not apologizing for that win.
