Sounds like that onside kick, huh? Was that skill? No, it was luck.

According to that definition, every properly executed play during any game is 'luck'
(I don't like that definition); however, I've been re-watching the highlites all morning, and I am inclined to now agree with you that the 2-point conversion had a lot of luck to it - it just looked lucky. The problem with calling it 'luck' is that it was perfectly thrown to the intended receiver, and the defense let him get open. Same for the onside kick - it was kind of lucky that Bostick abandoned his blocking role, as the guy who was intended to catch the ball was standing there with his hands ready to make the play. And of course, the lucky bounce off Bostick and to the Seattle player - that is definitely luck, but it's what has to happen on any on-side kick.
