How the Comeback Happened

Like most Seahawks fans, I watched the NFC championship game on Sunday. Like everyone who watched the game, I'm still having trouble believing what I saw.

How does any team-even one lead by arguably the best QB in the league, the number one defense, and pedestrian (okay, okay, I'm kidding) receivers-make such a big comeback?

Let me try to break it down.
Down 19-7:

3:02 left in 4th quarter- Lynch carries for 26 yards to GB 9
2:13- Wilson scores 1-yard TD (extra point is good)
2:09- Hauschka onside kick recovered by Seattle
1:33- Lynch 24-yard TD run
1:32- Two point conversion succeeds

Then in overtime:

14:20- Wilson to Baldwin for 10 yards
13:50- Lynch 4-yard rush
12:36- Wilson to Baldwin for 35 yards
12:25- Wilson to Kearse for 35 yards TD

Game over.
