Seahawks Win! It’s Never Over ‘Til It’s Over

Things certainly looked bleak in the first half–Wilson’s many turnovers, our inability to convert on third down–and, well, some 12th fans were starting to lose the faith. Obviously, those who bailed on the NFC Championship game during half time missed all the action. As Russell Wilson gave teary interviews after his game-winning pass to Jermaine Kearse during overtime, we took to our loyal Twitter following to ask:
Did you stop watching #SEAvsGB game early? Tweet us how you felt when you saw the final score, we’ll include the best one(s) in our roundup!
