With less than 30 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter of Sunday's Super Bowl XLIX and with Seattle in the red zone, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson throws an interception to New England Patriots' safety Malcolm Butler, which seals the game's outcome. Current and former players posted their reaction to the play call and to the pick:

Lions receiver Golden Tate:
