Patriots and Seahawks tied at 14-14 at half-time in Super Bowl

An entertaining finish to the half saw the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks locked at 14-14 in the Super Bowl.

THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks are tied at 14-14 at half-time in the Super Bowl.

The Patriots had a strong edge early in the game, but the first quarter was scoreless.

They were driving late in the first quarter before Jeremy Lane intercepted Tom Brady in the endzone. Lane was injured on the play and will not return.

The Patriots then forced the Seahawks into a punt and scored on their next drive when Brady found Brandon LaFell for the first score of the game. The Seahawks would later respond with a touchdown drive of their own.

The Seahawks’ drive was highlighted by a 44-yard pass to Chris Matthews for the first catch of his career. Marshawn Lynch capped off the drive with a three-yard touchdown run.

The Patriots responded quickly to Seattle’s score, however. The Patriots drove 80 yards and scored on a touchdown pass to Rob Gronkowski following Lynch’s touchdown.

The Seahawks wasted no time setting up a scoring drive of their own.

Russell Wilson played a big role in leading the team downfield in the final seconds of the game and found Matthews in the endzone. Brady has the best stats out of all of the players in the first half.

He has led the team down the field multiple times and has been accurate in the matchup. Wilson, meanwhile, started off cold as his first completion was not until there were five minutes 36 seconds left in the second quarter.

He improved towards the end of the half and made a big throw on the team’s touchdown drive.
