Huh? Suppose he takes the timeout. On the first play, Seattle scores a touchdown and they are up by three. They then kick off, and NE has a minute or so to get into field goal range. Odds are against them, but far from impossible, and no Hail Mary. Of course you try to stop them, but no reason I see to let time run off the clock unnecessarily.
