While the Kearse catch was indeed lucky, the Seahawks were moving the ball down the field anyway, and New England did not show great signs of stopping them. The ball would have been inside the 40 with a minute or so to go had that pass to Kearse dropped incomplete. Who knows what happens. The point is if that ball gets handed off to Lynch we almost certainly have a different champion and Brady not only does not win MVP, he is likely considered the second best QB on the field.
Just edited to add that I'm not taking anything away from the Patriots, and thank both teams for a very entertaining game.
