Seahawks passing was a brillant play

There was only 26 seconds left. If they run and get stopped, the play takes at least 5 seconds. There is no chance they could have gotten another play off without taking a time out. It takes time to get both teams lined up on the line. Even if they could have gotten another play off, it would have been with 1 or 2 seconds left and then the game would have been over.

If they run on 2nd down, they have to call time out. They could have still gotten 3 plays off if they would have then thrown on 3rd down.
