The Seattle Seahawks needed a big play and a break to have a chance against Tom Brady and the rest of the New England team. Both of them were on the same play.
It was the result of an ill-advised trick by the bay. When the Bucs lined up in a Wildcat formation in the third quarter, they drove to Seattle's 22- yard line. Leonard Fournette ran a direct snap and tried to throw to Brady, who was split out wide. Brady slipped on the turf and the pass was picked off by Woolen, who was a rookies.
The extra 15 yards came from a tripping penalty.
Woolen's fifth pick-six of the season padded his resume for Defensive Freshman of the Year. It was Brady's sixth career target.
In the first half, the Seahawks were outgained by the Buccaneers by a wide margin.
