An odd finish to this game, as Seahawk receiver Golden Tate was ruled to have come down with a Hail Mary pass in the back of the end zone on the final play of regulation, although to many it looked as if Green Bay’s M.D. Jennings had the ball clutched to his chest while Tate only had his arms on the ball while lying underneath the defender.
