Russell Wilson reflects on infamous goal-line interception as Seahawks, Patriots ready for Super Bowl rematch

Fox News Digital asks Russell Wilson about his interception in Super Bowl XLIX that changed the course of NFL history, prior to the 2025 NFL season.

The last time the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots played in the Super Bowl, it was defined by one of the NFL's most infamous mistakes. 

At the end of Super Bowl XLIX in 2015, Russell Wilson's interception at the goal line changed the course of sports history, reigniting the Patriots dynasty and costing Seattle a chance at back-to-back championships. Seattle didn't have to pass. It was second down with 53 seconds left, and Seattle had Marshawn Lynch in the backfield. 

But Wilson attempted a slant pass to Ricardo Lockett, and Patriots rookie Malcom Butler jumped in front of it for the pick, clinching the game for New England.

Wilson reflected on the infamous moment in an interview with Fox News Digital prior to the start of the 2025 season.

"I look at all the collection of great moments and tough moments along the way. But I've had a lot of great moments," Wilson recalled. "I always look forward to the next moment. I think that's always been my mentality of being able to look forward to the next play, the next moment… I think it's the baseball in me… every pitch is a new pitch, a new day." 

Fox News Digital asked Wilson if he shared the experience of the mistake with his current New York Giants teammates, which included rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart.
