Fake the dive right to Lynch (linebackers bite up to stop the dive), QB rollout left throwing to a tight end dragging across the back line of the end zone. Thrown high and outside.

There was only one LB not on the line And with Nink and Collins on the outside, the rollout becomes a lower percentage play.
Look, end of the day, the Pats were more prepared for that series of downs than the Seahawks. They had their bases covered. That’s why you hand it to Lynch, he can make a play.

Coming from you, that’s a compliment.
How about you blow me? How’s that sound?[/quote]
Aren’t you an accountant? I assume you know how to count.
There are 8 Pats on the line of scrimmage! HaHa.
A play action bootleg, like MaxB suggested could easily pull one of the outside pat players inside for a spit second and give Wilson a open bootleg into the endzone without even throwing.
He gets out of containment his receiver is running an outside route, the corner is fucked, if he breaks off the receiver it’s a lob for a TD, if he stays in coverage Wilson walks in.

This.
You make that single safety/linebacker choose.
If he stays back in coverage, Wilson strolls in, remember there is only 1 man back in coverage.
If the safety/linebacker comes up to try to stop Wilson from running it in, Wilson makes an easy toss over his head for the score. Even if the pass is not caught, it’s an incomplete pass which stops the clock.
Remember, the entire world is talking about how Lynch (maybe the best running back in football) should run in it, so how effective would a fake dive to him be ? EXTREMELY !
All you need is a split second to throw off that safety and the play works.
This is only one of a hundred possible plays for this scenario
