A sampling of national-media reaction after the Seahawks' comeback attempt fell short in a 31-24 loss to the Panthers in an NFC divisional playoff game.
It was a hell of a half after a half from hell for the Seahawks.
But in the end, Seattle couldn’t quite make it all the way back from a 31-point halftime deficit, falling to Carolina, 31-24, in an NFC divisional-round playoff game on Sunday. The top-seeded Panthers move on to host the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC championship game next weekend.
The Seahawks certainly made the score respectable, but some wondered if that only magnifies how poorly the first half went.
