Instead of questioning it how about accept that it was a tremendous play and someone had the nerve and ability to put it on the line and jump it FTW.

Hindsight's 20/20,

... I did see some stats on the entire league in regards to success in running the ball from the one yard line and they (surprisingly) were not good. There was a stat on Marshawn Lynch only scoring on something like 1-in-6 attempts from the one yard line this season ... also not good. The only stat supporting a Marshawn Lynch carry in that situation was that the Pats defense had allowed the majority of runs from the 1 against them to score, so yeah, once the shock & awe of the whole thing wears off, it was just a rookie being in the right place, at the right time, making the right decision, in probably the biggest game of his life,

... Butler did say in an interview that they had practiced defending that play & Belichek had admonished him to get it right ... it's going down in history, that's for sure,

.

Despite all that, I still can't believe they didn't just pound the ball 4x, either with Lynch, Wilson ... whomever ... but hey, not my call,

.

There's also the theory that Belichek not calling a time-out near the end and thus not giving Carroll more time to mull things over contributed to the call ... I can see that ... jedi-mind tricks by Bill ... "that's not the play you want to run Pete, you want to throw the ball ... "
