With 18 seconds left to play in the New England Patriots’ 28-24 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX on Sunday, the NFL’s signature game had its first-ever ejection.

Seahawks linebacker Bruce Irvin was ejected for inciting a brawl between the teams as the Patriots were running out the clock. Following a late interception thrown by Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, the Patriots took over at their 1-yard line.
