That was the play call of the reverse pass from St. Brown to Goff that ended up being a big play in the game. It was Goff’s first career touchdown reception and St. Brown’s first touchdown pass.
It turns out that play has been in the playbook for years, but was brought out special on Monday and they were able to run it when Seattle gave them the defense they were looking for.
“We call it the ‘Alcatraz,'” Goff said after the game. “We have these plays in the gameplan a lot, and they don’t always just come up. It has to be the right scenario for them and the hook-and-ladder was the perfect scenario for it, and so was the Alcatraz tonight. When they get called, you get a little excited in the huddle, but you’ve got to get the right look for it, and we did. So, yeah, it’s fun.”
But why is it called Alcatraz?
“I don’t know. Ben (Johnson) called it – it’s been called Alcatraz for two or three years now,” Goff said. “I guess I’ve never asked him why. There probably is a reason. I probably should know it; I just don’t know.”
