Seth Meyers recaps Super Bowl XLIX in 4 minutes, with perfect Seahawks analogy

In case you weren't one of the 114.4 million people who watched the Super Bowl on Sunday — or you want to relive the event (likely meaning you're not a Seahawks fan) — Seth Meyers had a Super Bowl round-up on Monday night's Late Night. In a little over 4 minutes, Meyers captures the entire experience, from pregame silliness to that depressing Nationwide ad to Katy Perry's halftime show. He also gets in a few words about the actual game, including a spot-on recap of Seattle coach Pete Carroll's internal monolog before calling his terrible, game-losing final play — and this perfect description of said final play: "Passing from the 1-yard line when you have Marshawn Lynch is like trying to kill someone with a gun by throwing it at them." Yeah. —Peter Weber
