Madden NFL Twitter account trolls Seahawks' play calling

It started out so innocently. The Seattle Seahawks' official Twitter account wanted to know why star running back Marshawn Lynch didn't receive a 99 rating in this year's Madden NFL video game.

Fair question.

Madden NFL's response?

Ouch. They're referencing, of course, the Seahawks' game-losing decision to throw the ball from the 1-yard line late in Super Bowl XLIX against the New England Patriots, instead of running straight ahead with Lynch.

So how exactly did the Seahawks respond to this magnificent trolling?

Let that be a lesson to any player/team who wants to quibble over a few ratings points in Madden.
