After trailing 20-0 halftime, the Seahawks made some serious adjustments and played with their confidence and pulled a stunning comeback. Even after Matt Ryan's shovel pass that resulted in a TD and left Pete Carroll and Seahawks in shock, they continued scoring.

The interception by Seahawks Richard Sherman was the turning point of the game for Seattle as they scored a touchdown on the following drive. . After Seattle stopped the Falcons, they tied the score and took a one point lead with the point after with 31 seconds left in the fourth.

Everyone in Atlanta, players, coaches, fans were looking worried and to the point of tears as it seemed they would lose the game. Matt Ryan pulled a famous comeback as he did to Chicago Bears with 11 seconds remaining in the 2008 season.  He connected on a few passes just enough to get his team in field goal range to add three points and take the 2 point lead.

Seattle had one more chance with six seconds remaining in regulation. Atlanta shocked everyone and made the question arise, "Why a squibble kick?" Seattle could have capitalized on the return squib kick to steal the victory, but after two plays, rookie Russell Wilson and the Seahawks fell to the Matt Ryan and the Falcons 30-28. Russell Wilson added another record under his belt for most passing yards in a postseason.

It was a game well played, one Seattle can be proud of themselves and look forward to a stronger season. This will be another classic game added to NFL Films. As Fox Sports Curt Menefee stated, "Whatta comeback by Seattle, whatta comeback by Atlanta whatta finish whatta Game!"
