Seahawks' Ricardo Lockette on Super Bowl interception: 'I will never forget that pain'

Seattle Seahawks receiver Ricardo Lockette probably had the best view of Russell Wilson's late-game interception in Super Bowl XLIX, so he doesn't need to see it again - nor would he want to.

Lockette was the intended receiver on the play before cornerback Malcolm Butler sealed the win for the New England Patriots, and he still can't stand to watch the replays.

"I can’t watch the film," Lockette wrote in a piece for The Players' Tribune. "I absolutely can’t stand to see it. People have told me it was the perfect interception. People have told me there’s a camera angle where it looks like I’m about to walk right into the end zone. People have told me all sorts of things about the last play of Super Bowl XLIX. I wouldn’t know. Whenever it comes on, I turn away."

Many felt the Seahawks should've handed the ball to running back Marshawn Lynch, but Lockette was confident in the play call.

"He calls a play we’d practiced all year. We ran it three times during the season in the same situation, to 100 percent completion. Perfect. Unstoppable play," he said.

The heartbreaking defeat was almost six months ago, but the pain is still fresh for Lockette.

"The next thing I know, I’m on the turf on my knees. I’m looking around like, 'Okay, it’s incomplete?' I look across to the Patriots’ sideline, and I see Tom Brady jumping up and down," he said. "And then I look across to our sideline and I see our guys with this blank look, with their heads dropped.

"I will never forget that pain. Never."
