History

Historical Context

The Seahawks entered the Jan 18 2015 NFC Championship as the NFC’s top seed after a 12-4 regular season under head coach Pete Carroll. Trailing 19-7 late in the fourth quarter, Russell Wilson engineered a 50-yard overtime drive capped by a 35-yard touchdown pass to Jermaine Kearse, sending Seattle to Super Bowl XLIX. The comeback highlighted the league’s growing embrace of aggressive fourth-down strategies.
