EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Everything that went right for 18 games went wrong in Super Bowl XLVIII.
The most prolific offense in NFL history endured its first single-digit output in 38 games. The defense that had held up so well in spite of injuries in the last four weeks, buckled under the strain of short fields and the Seahawks' ability to use Percy Harvin to keep the Broncos off-guard with end-arounds.
It was Harvin who provided some of the most decisive blows, beyond the ones that were self-inflicted -- namely the four turnovers that led to 21 points.
"They had two weeks to get him some plays in there, and they got him some good plays and they got him going," said cornerback Champ Bailey. "The guy's an explosive player. I said that all week. I knew it. It's no surprise that he made some plays. You've just got to find a way to eliminate them."
