Twitter Reacts to Seahawks, Patriots Fight in Super Bowl 2015

The Super Bowl between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks was a classic contest that will be remembered for its wild, exciting finish. Unfortunately, the Patriots' 28-24 victory will also be remembered for the brawl that ended the game.

With the Patriots kneeling down to close the game, several Seahawks and Patriots began scrapping after Tom Brady took a knee. And the general consensus among fans and sportswriters on Twitter was that the fight was a disappointing development in an amazing game.

Elliot Harrison of NFL.com summed it all up pretty perfectly:

Dan Wetzel of Yahoo Sports was a bit more blunt:

Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News couldn't believe what he was seeing:

One of the prevailing themes in the post-fight proceedings was that the finish to the game was rather symbolic of the season as a whole, as Dan Graziano of ESPN noted:

Rachel Nichols of CNN agreed with that sentiment:

It was an odd way to end the game, surely, but it fit into the bad boys narrative that the Seahawks have crafted for themselves, and it's not hard to see why emotions ran so high after such a close, physical, passionate contest. 

Cooler heads eventually prevailed and the game came to a close. But we'll always remember the fight on the kneel-down as one of the moments that made this year's finish so crazy.
