Well, congradulations, after Sunday’s game, you’ve earned yourself a month-long, Price Is Right-esque European vacation highlighted by a week in Paris, a weekend in Venice, and the running with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain—all because the Seahawks lost in the most gut-wrenching way possible. Remember when the Nazis faces melted off during Raiders of the Lost Ark? That is my sense-memory of this game. It was traumatic.

To these slippery, quick horizontal passes to a single receiver while everyone else blocks. You know what? Who needs to relive it? The point is that I’ve watched the Super Bowl for three straight weeks, and for three straight weeks the Seahawks lost it.

The New England Patriots exposed the Seattle Seahawks—and now everyone is copying them.
